The Perennial problem is the fucking NIMBYs.

Even the Pedestrian/Bike/Horse rail trails are being blocked by residents who don’t want strangers near their property. Even in areas with a large Horse-enthusiast population. Even where under-utilised sporting fields are accessible from the old alignment.

Other existing rail trails are being sabotaged by locals, much to the detriment of local businesses such as cafes, micro-breweries and distilleries.

Honestly we need a law that says if you oppose public transport, your house gets seized and you get banned from receiving any income

Even simpler if you don’t like being near strangers don’t buy near public land
