AutoExec Summary
A Climate Council analysis reveals that half of people in Australia’s five largest cities lack access to frequent, convenient public transport, increasing car dependency. Public transport is generally poorer in lower-income areas, with Sydney as the exception. The report highlights disparities in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane, with Brisbane having the worst access. It urges increased investment in public and active transport and improvements to make streets more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly to reduce car use and air pollution.
