Of course I'd support better public transport.
But I'm not really sure what form that would take? The bus from my house to the childcare centre obviously drops us off there when the bus is scheduled to do so, which means I will always face the longest possible wait for the next bus to come by. It only takes two minutes to drop the kid off... but the bus driver isn't going to wait.
And it's pretty normal for public transport to not go to where you're going unless you're going to or from the CBD. That means changing busses.
I could live in the CBD... then transit infrastructure would be great - but the realestate there is way out of my reach, price wise.
