this is a stunt, but Uber is lobbying with policy recommendations, that're more interesting than the stunt: > Uber’s recommendations to “unlock the Big Move” > Price access to city-centre roads to encourage behaviour change through parking charges, road tolling, congestion charges and clean-air zones. > Unabashedly focus all government policy areas on securing the future well-being of people over a very long time scale. “In practical terms, the current system will prioritise spending on a road upgrade yielding a 2-minute travel-time improvement compared to a rail project that will future-proof a new community with a sustainable, car-free travel option.” > Reform health and net-zero policies to encourage more active lives and reduce emissions through devising and promoting travel behaviour change initiatives delivered in partnership with industry, communities and the third sector. I would be happy to see more focus on walkable neighborhoods, more public transport & less reliance on private car ownership in Australian cities. Less sprawling new-build suburbs with no infrastructure nearby & long commutes for economic opportunity, more zoning flexibility & mixed residential/commercial stuff, more high density, less land devoted to roads & parking. I'm not a fan of Uber, interesting to see there's a bit of overlap in what they're lobbying for (to grow their market share) & what I think might benefit the country.
