It’s been long thought Australia’s population boom is affecting the daily commute for the worse. But that’s not true, according to a new study.
A new study has found Australians’ daily commute has not worsened, despite the country’s population growth.
Australian public policy research centre, The Grattan Institute, has found commute times and distances have barely increased over the past five years.
The Institute's transport program director Marion Terrill said commute distances have barely changed, even as cities grow.
Cities and Populations Minister Alan Tudge disputes the research findings, saying "travel times are getting slower... to suggest otherwise is fanciful”.
