Canberra is billed as the '20-minute city', but many commuters feel they're still too reliant on cars

The car remains most Canberrans' preferred mode of travel, and according to the Climate Council, the city has the lowest use of shared transport of any Australian capital.

The Climate Council attributes low shared transport usage to a lack of services in Canberra's spread-out suburbs.

Some experts conclude the only proven solution to congestion is charging people a fee to drive into the centre of the city, as seen in London and New York.
