If it were easy for us to leave our cars at home, we would. Roadworks cause stress, being stuck in traffic is no fun and parking spots are expensive.
But, sadly, sometimes the alternatives don’t look that great: the bus doesn’t run often enough and stops running too early, we’d have to stand if we took the train, the station is nowhere near our house.
If we had better public transport, we’d have better options for getting around and could leave our cars at home more often. What do we mean by ‘better’? Trains and buses that compete with the car in terms of costs and ease: high-quality services; cheap, straightforward fares; public transport we can all use, regardless of mobility; and an integrated system, so that buses and trams and trains and taxi-buses all connect to each other, giving us a door-to-door service.
We’re fighting for better public transport; working together, with your support, we’ll get it.
