QUICK AND EASY PUBLIC TRANSPORT!

Im sick of the Melbourne public transport system. We are the fastest growing city in Australia and our population will one day surpass Sydneys. And as more and more people move into the city we need to improve our public transport system. What we need is constant non stop express trains to the outskirts of the metropolian area and trams coming to all major shopping centers plus a monorail connecting all of Melbournes rapidly deveolping Docklands precint. Our trains are old and dated and personally i think we need some quicker and more modern one that runs on all the same system to Geelong, Ballarat, Mildura from Melbourne and these need to be express trains and fancy new ones that can travel at a world class speed. We are an awfuly large country and although we don't have a huge population we still need quick alternatives to connect out all our widely spread cities and major towns. We even need a basic train connecting all of the east coast of Australia. Driving takes to long and if we can build fast express trains all the way from melbourne to brisbane via sydney and the gold coast. The goverment really needs to pour some money into a world class transport system. A reason propsed plan was to build a Maglev train system from melbourne to geelong and via frankston to give them quick access to the city. OFCOURSE THIS WAS CANCELLED! Yes we are getting faboulas new freeways such as the eastlink and new pensulia link to be constructed soon it still isn't a green solution and nethier suitable for the urban population because they have to go down 4 freeways just to make it to the other side of the state or down to the penisula. While Melbourne was well planed and set right on the water and centraly in the middle of Victoria and like all major Australian cities besides our pointless capital Canberra it has been made to offer easy access for ships to come in. However I still do not rest my case on Melbourne and the whoel east coast needing a major public transport system that could connect as all together and make our cities far more accesiabel.
