Mr. Tony Neary:

In my world, accountability and having a project leader certainly works well in terms of delivering results. Specifically on this issue, it is important that those who are responsible determine exactly how it should be organised. My experience in industry certainly suggests it is important to have accountability and have clear leadership for specific projects.

Mr. McGrath made a point about 80% of cars being single user cars. I have no reason to doubt it. It is probably a fair statistic. I would not call it a perk of my job, but a reality of my job is that I travel all over the world and visit cities everywhere. How one commutes in cities depends on the infrastructure of the city. There are certain areas where one absolutely has to hire a car. I regularly visit Zurich and I would never consider getting a car there because there are much better modes of transport. People will use the infrastructure that is available to them, so telling people they cannot drive their cars is not the answer. If the infrastructure is there to encourage people not to drive their cars, then they will not drive them. That is my experience having travelled in many cities around the world. That is what works. I do not feel in a position to lecture people and tell them they cannot drive their own cars. If the infrastructure is there, people will use it, in my experience.
