    He presents no reliable argument for why “trams […] clog up the roads”, nor why trams are a mistake to have kept.

    Well actually he said their average speed is 11km/h which is absolutely pathetic and a huge argument to why they clog up the road…

    Then he went on to say how insane the costs are for building these trams and how hiring an entrepreneur like Elon musk would save the people of Melbourne 90% of cost of building tunnels

      The average speed is from being slowed down due to traffic and non-priority signalling.

      You, and Alan, clearly have no idea what the tram system in Melbourne is like.

        Well no, but the newsman would just lie? We need better rebuttals because this is what the average residence hears from the news!

          That alone disqualifies the reporter, hiring Musk for tunnels, like seriously? This would be the stupidity of the decade level stupidity.
