Where we work defines how we get there (and explains a lot about the public transport challenge) : Comments
By Ross Elliott, published 20/10/2022If almost everyone worked in the CBDs and inner cities, the fantasy of public transport advocates ('we must get people out of cars and onto public transport') could be realised.

And while the tilt train was a good and timely innovation, it isn't fast. Sometimes so slow one could get out and walk faster.
A really rapid train would make this state the premier state and should be the 900+ klm. per hour vlt! And do for us what the flying Scotsman did for the then British economy and state tourism!
And as an entirely electrified system save real money on totally imported fuels, expensive diesel and jet fuel! And means we need something both cheaper than coal and carbon free, i.e., MSR thorium. MSR thorium would produce as almost free, the miracle cancer cure, the alpha particle bismuth 213.
Bismuth 213 can treat many death sentence cancers and result in annual hordes paying our rural and regional day care cancer clinics a visit. And being day care only, result in almost empty hotels and motels almost full year-round!
Getting there made impossible by tin-eared polly waffling Pollies. Who can't do anything that doesn't result in selling off the national estate/our children's hard won, heritage!
And with that a multi-billion-dollar annual medical tourism industry that could be used to completely resuscitate rural and regional Queensland! And places the redundant tilt train could be rerouted through.
