Areas across Melbourne are completely cut off from public transport options, with other parts of the city only getting sporadic service, analysis has revealed. Peter Parker, a public transport expert, has analysed bus routes across the city and says the poor quality of services on the outer fringe and large swaths of the north and west are “entrenching inequality”.
“Unfortunately, areas for the cheapest housing are often those with the worst transport and also the worst access to jobs,” he said.
