The Victorian Greens have released a transport plan they say will rectify Melbourne's public transport problems.
The $14-billion plan proposes 33 new or extended train and tram lines across the city, but does not propose any new road projects.
Greens transport spokesman, Greg Barber, says freeways and road tunnels are inefficient transport options.
"They're hugely expensive and actually not very efficient at carrying people," he said.
"Clifton Hill railway station actually shifts more people than the Eastern Freeway next door. Just goes to show how inefficient freeways are at moving people."
