Don’t they understand? If you ever build public infrastructure it has to be reactive for double the inconvenience. People don’t get the services they need, then need to go through the disruption of it being built, and then have an inadequate service that doesn’t meet current demand.

You can’t build things in anticipation of their use

I should be starting a job with a place where I can salary sacrifice to get an ebike. My plan is to get a cargo bike so I can take my kids around in it. I already have a trailer pram but they’re getting bigger now so it’s more effort and those 20km round trips really take it out of me. I love the idea of being able to take them places out in the open and away from traffic where they can actually see what’s going on
