OPPOSITION Leader Tony Abbott's plan to fund road and not urban rail projects shows 19th century thinking that will turn inner Melbourne into a rat's nest, the Australian Greens say.
Mr Abbott on Thursday said if elected to government, the coalition would not fund urban rail projects such as the cross-city Melbourne Metro rail tunnel.
However, Mr Abbott did commit to funding the East-West road link, which would connect the Western Ring Road to the Eastern Freeway.
Greens MP Adam Bandt said the opposition leader had the wrong priorities.
"If Tony Abbott is elected, it will be a disaster for inner-city Melbourne," he told reporters in Melbourne on Friday.
"The suburbs that we love and that make Melbourne consistently one of the world's most liveable cities will be turned into a rat's nest of on and off ramps.
"To suggest the federal government doesn't have a role in building public transport in major cities like Melbourne is 19th century thinking."
