    @owen @heatofignition @mondoman712 The fastest alternative route is the M2 Hills Motorway, which was built as a tollway in 1997, in addition to all the existing roads in the area: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M2_Hills_Motorway

    Building a new motorway isn’t hobbling congestion, it’s enabling it.

    It was supposed to relieve congestion to northwest Sydney.

    Well, there’s still traffic jams.

    And even compared to a completely grade-separated dual carriageway six-lane motorway, the Metro is *still* faster during peak hour.
