| Message | "Given that most infrastructure is used locally, the TDU still maintains that it should also be planned and built locally. Local governments know better than any central government bureaucrat how to best promote public transport in their area, the yknow better whether any public works project will really benefit their local economy, and whether it really is necessary to invoke public domain."
