Linking greenhouse, urbanisation, public transport and business emissions

Problem
Reduce energy usage by getting more people onto an efficient public transport system.

Issues
- Australians are entrenched in personal vehicle use.
- Public transport is currently seen as unattractive due to quality, availability and reliability of service.
- Public transport seen as too big an issue and is not linked to suitable incentives
- Majority (I think) of personal vehicle use is to/from work

Solution
Include employee/contractor work related travel in business related emissions calculation when determining "carbon tax".

Reasoning
- Puts direct pressure onto business economy which has the most established systems for change and interaction with govt departments at all levels.
- Encourages businesses to hire locally and/or create incentives to reduce individual vehicle usage.
- May result in a return to business towns (areas created to house employees of a big business) or at least business transport networks to make up the shortfall of public transport.

Negatives
- Some businesses will lump costs directly onto employees without supporting a change in their location/behaviour/needs.
