One in two residents of Australia\u2019s five largest cities do not live within walking distance of public transport that is frequent enough for them to ditch their reliance on cars, new analysis has found, with lower-income suburbs worse off in all but one city. The Climate Council analysis has revealed that more than 7 million people living in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide face huge barriers in choosing any transport option besides driving, leaving them with little choice but to consistently spend more money getting to work and moving around in general.<\/p>\n<p>The green advocacy group has claimed the data makes the case for better investment in buses, trains and other public transport in Australian cities, which they insist will increase ridership as well as cut dangerous air pollution and emissions. The analysis looked at the share of a population with convenient access to public transport that was frequent and reliable enough to get them out of cars, defined as an address within 800 metres or a 10-minute walk or a service that runs at least every 15 minutes between 7am and 7pm.<\/p>\n<p>The analysis found 67.2% of Sydneysiders live in areas with access to this level of public transport service. This compares with just 33.7% of residents in Brisbane \u2013 a city which was last week ranked as having Australia\u2019s worst traffic and the 12th worst in the world, as it prepares to host the Olympic Games in 2032.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to providing more residents decent public transport access, Sydney has the highest population density of the cities analysed. However, public transport access in Australia pales in comparison with global cities. Across New York City\u2019s five boroughs, 82% of people live within 800 metres of a subway station, according to 2020 transit and census data.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/article\/2024\/jul\/08\/half-of-australians-in-the-five-largest-cities-live-too-far-from-public-transport-to-ditch-cars\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/article\/2024\/jul\/08\/half-of-australians-in-the-five-largest-cities-live-too-far-from-public-transport-to-ditch-cars\">The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/half-of-australians-in-the-five-largest-cities-live-too-far-from-public-transport-to-ditch-cars\/\">Half of Australians in the five largest cities live too far from public transport to ditch cars<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,575,6352],"class_list":["post-132223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-public-transport"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132223\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
