"Melbourne, even more notably, has experienced the longest run of cold days in January on record. The city sat below 23 degrees for the past four days, much cooler than the average of 26 degrees."
Temps here are expected to be as cold as 21C, ****en 13C below average FFS. An unprecedented disaster.

so the main benefit of the rail line is that it'd carry more people?
Yes, more people and that it's immune to traffic disruptions. The 550 bus is often stuck in traffic jams, and several 550's can get stuck after each other, disrupting the schedule. Additionally, the light rail enables a lot of new residental developments near the light rail line. The 550 cannot really take this, as already now 12 million passengers ride it annually. For comparison the whole old tram network with 13 lines have 57 million passengers a year.

I looked at BOM's temperature map of Australia, and lol the south coast is so much cooler than most of the country arne't you glad you live up in the interior now?
Helsinki and Espoo are seriously considering to build a light-rail line in the East-West direction. It would replace the bus line 550, which is the busiest in the region. The cost will be around €250 million, as bridges have to be built and streets modified.
Interesting proposition. Hope it comes to fruition.
They're building an east-west light rail line in Nice right now, 3.6 km of which will be underground in the city center:
Though unlike Helsinki, it will more than double the lenght of the light rail network. Helsinki was smart enough not to get rid of its network after WW2.
In other news, my (mandatory) smoke alarm is killing me. Don't I have the right to overcook my meals anymore?
