Melbourne being compared with New York

Melbourne is being compared with New York, but not in a good way.

The city’s graffiti and rubbish-riddled gateway railway corridor has been compared with the Bronx.

Metro says it is spending more than $10 million a year cleaning the network.

Shadow transport minister David Davis says it’s only going to get worse.

“Daniel Andrews is now building the biggest graffiti board the city has ever seen in the SkyRail,” he told 3AW News.

“This is going to be a massive problem along that corridor.

“Huge graffiti will quickly become a fixture of Melbourne’s planned SkyRail.
