The reality of Melbourne as a liveable city is increasingly being called into question by its heavy reliance on the private passenger car for mobility. Significant improvements in the quality of the public transport service are required, including extensions to EVERY 10 MINUTES TO EVERYWHERE Every 10 Minutes to Everywhere. “Every 10 minutes to everywhere” envisages high quality public transport across Melbourne. All trams, trains, and main road buses would be upgraded to run at least every 10 minutes, from 6am to midnight, 7-days-a-week. Nightrider buses would run half-hourly, 7-days-a-week. Routes would be extended in some GUIDE TO NAVIGATING THE CITY LOOP Guide to navigating the City Loop.
