Traue keiner Statistik, die du selber nicht gefälscht hast.
Irgendwie bekam ich beim Lesen des Artikels das Gefühl, dass die DB sich zum Argumente windet.

World Tram Driver Championship

“When we were driving, doing our challenges, the noise of the crowd that was cheering us on was just incredible, and afterwards, we were kind of mobbed,” says Burgess. “There were hundreds – I mean hundreds – of people cheering and going, ‘Melbourne, Melbourne!’ You felt like a rock star. I’m not going to forget that for the rest of my life.”

The Guardian · Track stars: the world tram driver championship wowed Europe. Now Australia is gearing up for its turnBy Stephanie Convery

Really shameful how the Allan government has sold out people in Melbourne's outer suburbs, and particularly people in Melbourne's west.

"Around 2000 pages of material related to the review of Victoria’s Bus Plan were released by the Government on Tuesday. These documents show that significant bus reform was recommended by the Department of Transport and rejected by cabinet in 2023.

"The released documents, requested in 2024 by Upper House member for Western Metro Truung Luu, show that the Department recommended a new bus network with buses every 10 min on a 1.6km grid throughout the city, supported by some local routes. This proposal is in line with Melbourne University research which indicates that these bus grids are affordable and create a fast, frequent and reliable service, connecting suburban Melbournians to local activity centres and train lines.

"The papers make it clear that Labor's Cabinet rejected transformational bus reform that would bring life-changing new services to Melbourne's fastest growing suburbs."

Poor effort by the Victorian government. I suspect because we have a lot of trams and trains, they feel they can mostly ignore buses.
