Price hikes (here mostly through some form of tax) are a quick easy "see...we are doing something" and it also yields a solid bonus for the government. 20+ years of surplus obsessed risk averse governments is the bigger issue. How can people use their cars less if there is no reasonable public transport options? I used to have a bus stop maybe 200m from my house. That entire route was removed earlier this year as part of a public transport make over an privatisation of the bus routes. While it doesn't really effect me, the suburbs now without a bus route are medium-high density areas that you would want buses servicing. Fuck I've gotta reel this in before I go off on a huge fuck me dead we just don't public transport in Australia tangent. Price hike all you wanta though, if people can't get to work any other way they'll still drive.
