              A lot of Melbourne isn’t served very well by public transport
Melbourne public transport largely assumes you’re travelling to or from the CBD – if you aren’t, it can be effectively useless
Standard business hours a thing so that you know other businesses will be open around the same time, facilitating communication, so everyone needs to get to work in a relatively short time window

I hear what you are saying but even so, I still think a lot of cars on the road really don't need to be there and they could have taken PT especially if it was just into the city and back.
