Yeah, now imagine you work at nasa... You wouldn't take the bus to/from work everyday would you?
Exactly! It's nuts. It means that everyone at that facility drives to and from work. None take public transport... at one of the most prestigious engineering bodies in the world.
I worked at a company with about 1000 people at our location... I never saw anyone get off the bus to come to work(there was a bus stop infront of the building and on the side) and on good weather days maybe 3 or 4 bikes there... Everyone else drove.
My small city wants to run its tram line one particularly difficult way just to give fast public transport for the 5000 people who work near the difficult tram stop
Public transport is pretty good in Canberra
And all this from a country founded on rail...
