Unfortunately, the prime minister won't endorse his minister.

Here's an easy way to do it. Tax everything to do with cars - licenses, registrations, fuel, fluids (oil, transmission, coolant, etc.), tires, and insurance -- and direct 100% of that money into public transit projects - increasing frequency and reliability of existing service, adding new services and routes, and offsetting fees for users. The best transit is cheap, fast, and good.

One the parties in opposition suggested a tax for power-hungry cars and they got attacked on it during the last campaign. The population must accept the difficult choice, because the status quo is not sustainable.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that ensures that they must.
