Transport experts have called for Dan Andrews’ Suburban Rail Loop – a 90 kilometre orbital rail system that would run underground between Cheltenham and Werribee at a cost of up to $120 billion – to be scrapped.
They are concerned that the obscene costs and resources consumed by the project risks “monopolising public transport spending for decades and delaying other more urgent and beneficial infrastructure”:
A growing chorus of transport experts is urging the Andrews government to rethink the Suburban Rail Loop. Infrastructure Victoria and local councils say Melbourne desperately needs a third tunnel – the long-anticipated Melbourne Metro 2.
