Action for Public Transport (N.S.W.) Inc. |
Entitled "Off the rails; the failure of public transport", the series began on Saturday 5th November with a spread called "Trial by public transport". Then, on 6th November, "Why the business world is worried", 7th November "Big ideas for a big problem", 8th November "A city divided", and 9th November a call for the union of transport and urban planning.
Many readers' letters appeared and a related article "Tunnel vision: a victory for the road lobby" was printed on 10th November.
The trigger for the series was the publication of a Newman and Kenworthy report "Most Liveable and Best Connected" on 7th November. For a copy of the report, watch the Metropolitan Transport Forum website. For further information, perhaps the best site is Public Transport Users' Association.
Stop Press: The report is available as four PDF sections - see
