Mr. Peter Strachan:

Yes, but not too many capital cities of this standing. We are in agreement on that but I wanted to be clear on the limitations of our ability to do that

I keep coming back to BusConnects, but it is a really good example of dealing with congestion in the city. One of the things I notice coming frequently to the city in this incarnation, in comparison to what I was a few years ago, is how much more congested the city has become.

The grid-type layout of the city does not make it conducive unless we make BusConnects-type interventions. There is always cross movement of who gets priority. BusConnects is the way to ensure congestion is eased by making public transport, particularly bus, more attractive to car users and for that reason, they will leave the car at home.
