TRAFFIC delays could increase by 40 per cent and the social cost of Sydney's gridlock blow out to $7.8 billion within 15 years, a federal government report says.The report by the Bureau of Transport and Regional Economics, presented to the premiers conference, predicts road traffic in Sydney will increase dramatically by 2020.The average delay due to congestion would grow from 0.285 minutes per kilometre in 1990 to 0.374 minutes this year and 0.527 minutes by 2020.By calculating the value of time wasted, vehicle operating costs and pollution, the bureau found the social cost of congestion in the city would climb from $3.5 billion to $7.8 billion between 2005 and 2020.
Gridlock half as bad again in 15 years - National - smh.com.au
Hey Sydney siders- you don't HAVE to live in that chaos. Just over the Great Dividing Range there is a Paradise where you work 5 minutes from where you live and you can go home for lunch. Housing is a fraction of the price and a lifestyle you could only dream about.
Yes you might have to give up your corporate career, but that's only shortening your life anyway!
