Re: Re: Canberra Liberals' proposed public transport plan would see a busway replace light rail with locally built electric buses

It's marketing. Offer something different from the offer of the competition
to differentiate yourself.

That's a valid strategy, especially since people out there are also saying
Lib-Lab are the same.

The Liberals in SA ran successfully in the 1980s on the platform of the
O-Bahn being better than light rail...and were lucky that people live the
O-Bahn.

They ran successfully in spruiking their NBN vs Labor’s.

So, given that people vote for these alternatives, it is hard to blame
parties for doing it. It works.
