The only reason cars are good right now is because countries like US and AU went 100% all in on cars

Not 100%, Melbourne kept its trams around and Victoria still has massive car use

We're just a huge massive low density country so it's hard to compare to inner western europe

Yes you're right, I was being hyperbolic. We're 90% mostly-in on cars

Melbourne's trams are terrible because cars are given priority even though having much lower capacity. The "low density" argument is meaningless. Most people live in metropolitan regions and they are as well suited for transit as you build it. Turns out, Australia went all in on car only design on new projects. Surprisingly that makes anything other than cars unattractive.

Please don't downvote just because you have a different opinion, it makes you look like a dick
