Unsustainable transport trends in census data for the journey to work in major Australasian cities 1976 to 2001.

This study proceeds by graphing the 25-year trends in commuting since 1976 in Australia and New Zealand. It then defines the costs of congestion nation wide in Australia and the serious energy security threat due to oil depletion in both countries. It goes on to graph and analyse the 1996/2001 data for the larger cities; all have increasing levels of unsustainable motorisation but some have a better record than others in providing for train travelers, bicyclists, walkers or for those working at home.
