Cheaper EVs is a good thing.

Australia is more than cities.

Cities can make public transport free and congestion charges if they want to reduce usage of cars.

I agree with you but the Opal fares in Sydney are more expensive than it would cost me in tolls driving across the bridge and paying for parking at work. I still don't often drive but it's not because PT is more economical.

Yeah we have too much urban sprawl, and too few people, to justify widespread public transport to eliminate the need for a household car (in Australia).

we can electrify our cars and build public transport simultaneously!
