I’m committed to dramatically improving public transport services. We need to organise to put pressure on the state government to spend more of the billion of dollars in mining royalties on public transport infrastructure. This is vital to make a more liveable city and to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. A good first step would be the introduction of a CAT service linking Fremantle to Beaconsfield, Hilton and Samson. We also need a Free Transit Zone such as already exists in the Perth CBD. We also need to build an extensive light rail network to move tens of thousands out of their cars and into public transport.
For a great vision of what such a system could look like check out this plan developed by Greens senator Scott Ludlam.
