Should the government increase spending on public transportation?

Yes, but all public transport should be nationalized

High speed rail expansion to all major cities.

Putting money into a system we still have to pay a private company for is ridiculous, nationalise it, take accountability for it. Once that is done. Utilise the money already in use to fix it.

Yes, to reduce congestion

Public Transport should be nationalised. It is not a luxury item.

There is already enough funding

Increase spending on the underground and other trains, but not buses or public bikes

Its an environmental type of transport. We should charge minimum

Increase spending but make it more efficient. Government budgets are poorly managed leading to a lot of waste.

Yes and lower prices

Yes, but limited amounts - not too much but enough to help with rail times and service/train quality

If it is more efficient, then sure, but at what cost? And are people actually getting places quicker?

Yes, and provide more lower cost public transportation

Yes, based on demand

No, but we should be pushing coats for consumers down by other means

YES because train prices are ridiculous

Add more busses to less urban areas, what if someone’s car breaks down in the middle of nowhere?

Only if the money is actually used wisely.

Yes but spend the money outside of London

Yes if it goes towards workers

Yes and increase subsides for low income households/areas.

Only make changes when the demand changes e.g. increases

Yes, and the public transport should be outside of London!!

yes but only a lil bit

Spend the given amount more efficiently

Yes, subsidise public transportation and increase availability.

Only if its proportionate funding, so if certain areas need it more, it goes there. Also funding should probably be used to improve existing infrastructure

yes but the cost of travel needs to be looked at as trains are almost unaffordable.

Public transport outside of London is a waste of time. Unreliable and too expensive.

Yes, only if the private contractors (hired by the government) do a good job, don't waste money, and to reduce travel costs in the long-term.

Yes, and expand public transport links in rural areas.

Yes, but focus outside London where more investment is badly needed.

Hire actual experts to realise where taxpayers money would go best. Reduce spending but still keep it a thing as it is fundamental for workers to get to jobs and make it more efficient.
Make it free for people who need it to get to their jobs to motivate and boost the economically inactive until they do not need it anymore.

Yes, especially bus services as they are used more by less wealthy people

reduction in the regional monopolies that exist as this is not true privatisation

Yes, but with more innovative solutions, particularly in rural areas.

Yes, but only if they are nationalised within the purview of the local councils

Yes but they should always make the passengers pay for them

The government should invest more in transport infrastructure which adds to the productive capacity of the economy, but should not spend more money on subsidising the operation of public transport.

these firm that run the transport already make enough from the public,why should the government spending so they make more profits

Public transport should have increased spending along side incentivization of public transportation over private transportation. With long term goals of moving towards environmentally friendly goals such as electrification of rail or introduction of trams.

Depends on what is spent. “Public transportation is very broad”

Make it cheaper to use public transport

More affordable

Provide more free transportation, increase spending on public transit, and use environmentally friendly solutions.

Yes, and provide more free public transportation, prioritizing environmentally friendly solutions and accessibility for all.

Yes aim to provide free public transport where possible but for any one disrupting services they will have this taken off them

Yes. Where I live we have a bus to the nearest town five miles away. It only runs once every TWO hours and takes between 45 and 55 minutes whereas it takes 10-15 minutes by car. It also would be impossible to use to get to work due to the fact the last service is 16:30 from the town to home.

Yes, and this spending should go towards improving the accessibility of public transport, lowering costs and improving sustainability

London is so connected, time to improve public transport and connectivity regarding the North. But should not be a major priority over housing, work etc.

Yes and establish and National Transport Service like the NHS, providing free and green public transport across all trains, trams and buses, as well as taxis for disabled people.

No, companies that operate public transport should be fined if they don't meet the published timetables and people should be incentivised to use public transport through tax relief

Yes and the cost of using a bus in rural areas should be the same as the cities. The bus services in rural areas need to be greatly improved. We can only get to one place at a ridiculous cost

Yes - The UK is a joke compared to other European countries whose public transport is cleaner, cheaper and easier to navigate.

Yes, but it should remember the North needs transportation upgrades aswell rather than only investing in the south and London.

I think that is a lot of money to spend but there are clearly areas that need improving, so the money should be spent going towards better solutions suhc as environmentally friendly or disability access.

Rail should be re-nationalised for starters. Needs to be a better and more efficiently run network.

Yes, especially in cities outside of Greater London. The standards of public transport in big cities in the UK do not even partially meet the standards of TFL.

No, the government should spend that money on releasing the services from foreign private corporations

Yes, performance needs to be improved. This will increase use which lowers the costs and benefits the environment

Public transport is increased services using a bus and vehicle without patrol prices and card credit for identifying empty handed government alone

Yes but in more remote areas so that people can easily commute to cities and back. To industrialise other areas so that bigger cities like London do not have to stress over the lack of housing, whilst also seeking to maintain more green space in already crowded cities

Yes Especially if it serves economically deprived regions outside of the south and is environmentally friendly

Railway network needs to be rebuilt to the scale of 1960 you should be able to get anywhere in the country on a train and it should be affordable for the average person and improve local bus services and place it is not possible to get to by train and it should all be under public ownership.

All public services should be Nationalised and run not for profit. Transport should be free. The beneficiaries of public services are industry and they ought heavily fund the public services that enable their workers to be available.

Only if it is to improve it in areas where it is severely lacking such as rural Wales and only if it is not in an attempt to force people not to drive and as a result be stuck in their homes

Yes Mainly in the north

If the country is. In economic crisis then yes but for no reason at all no

Yes provided free transport and environmentally friendly solutions

Just add a little

Yes, and provide enviormentally-friendly free public transport.

Cancel Hs2 and invest into current railway upgrades

Something needs to be do to lower the cost of rail travel.

No it’s way too expensive it’s ridiculous

No but the government should spend more on “National Connections” ie hs2

No, and we should nationalise more public transportation services

No privatise more public transport services but provide free travel for under 24 year olds

Yes, and it should go to making the services more reliable and environmentally friendly.

Yes, but we should ensure that spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions.

Yes, and we should build in more high-speed links in the UK.

Yes; money should also go towards providing more environmentally friendly public transport. Costs for public transport should also be reduced as well as reducing privatization of public transportation.

Yes but more to be invested away from London and the south-east. Levelling up does not seem to apply anywhere north of the Midands

Yes, and provide more free or subsidised transportation with reduced bus and rail fares

We should find a middle ground in Part Privatisation and Public ownership allowing for cheaper travel

Yes especially in rural areas where there are few alternatives. Environmental impact should always be considered

The Government has subsided transport in London far too much ...but has failed for decades to subsidize transport in the rest of Britain ...time for a change

Yes but the service need to be improved; longer service running times, more frequent times during the academic year and reduced or capped fares

Needs modernising, not more of it. I will never use public transport.

Yes, but only if the spending goes towards environmentally friendly solutions which are free.

Yes, but the cost of tickets should be linked to the equivalent cost of car sharing, thus encouraging people back on to public transport.

We should only slightly increase funding for public transport to allow a better work quality and more efficient service.

increase funding, providing cheaper or free transport with eco friendly options available

yes, more free public transportation should be available while working on more eco friendly solutions

no and decrease it only on wastefull spending and if we have control of the cost of living under control and have more extra spending use it to make it better but raise rail workers rights

No, but make the distribution more equal across the UK

Yes we need better quality public transport that can be affordable for all types of people.

Yes, all routes within a certain region should be free and cross-regional travel should be subsidized to prevent pollution and traffic problems from cars

Yes, if the spending is environmentally friendly and spent outside of London. It should also should be run by the local authority.

Yes and we should look towards more free public transport and more environmentally friendly solutions
