This could become a positive externality of high fuel prices?
Fuel prices have increased since July to well above $2 per litre, and they could keep climbing. With everyday life expenses rising across the board, commuters are having to make tough decisions.
If fuel prices stay high it could put more pressure on the government to increase public transport, and increase livindensity in selected areas.
It also motivates people to be sparing, or find alternative means of transport that rely on fossil fuels less per person.
Over the long term it could aid in reshaping the state's capital city to be less car centric and maybe more walkable.
