The first concern should be the economic cost imposed by the huge influx of immigrants and their effects on wages and jobs. The new stance indicates a u-turn from Boris Johnson's original preference for buses, although a new Routemaster is still being planned. A proposed Light Rail network could potentially leverage the existing Tuggeranong, Kingston, Queanbeyan/ Bungendore rail lines as as the network is expanded in a phased manner service all ACT town centres and significant areas of employment. Sean Morrison, the chairman of FuturePerth outlines his vision for Perth 2030 in today’s West Australian. On Thursday, the Sound Transit board will receive cost and ridership analyses for the Vision Line. Ridership on Sound Transit's Central Link light rail continued rising this year after the Sea-Tac Airport station opened in December, according to the latest ridership report.

So, I agree with that idea and support any of your direct activity. Think, that this step is going to be necessary in that case.
