Gridlock mayhem brings a city to a standstill for hours ( The Age / Stephen Moynihan and Selma Milovanovic )

From the article: “Melburnians’ reliance on cars became apparent yesterday morning when the accidents caused severe delays on the Monash, while alternative routes suggested to ease the congestion also remained clogged for hours.”

Yet more evidence of the transport problems in and around Melbourne. Supposedly the combined delays of all commuters cost the state millions of dollars in lost productivity. I have no idea how they calculate those sorts of figures..
