Cancel Hs2 and invest into current railway upgrades
@9DPSSBZConservative2yrs2Y
reduction in the regional monopolies that exist as this is not true privatisation
@9DJBRYP2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if they are nationalised within the purview of the local councils
@9D98T732yrs2Y
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.
@9P44DZQ10mos10MO
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
@9N4P2PG10mos10MO
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.
@9C96FHK2yrs2Y
No privatise more public transport services but provide free travel for under 24 year olds
@95VPZ7Y3yrs3Y
Yes especially in rural areas where there are few alternatives. Environmental impact should always be considered
@95TLNZ33yrs3Y
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
Put it all in public ownership.
@8XMJKZ93yrs3Y
@8TXG2TD4yrs4Y
Yes but more integration with cleaner private transport
@8S9VY24Conservative4yrs4Y
Yes so the network can cope and no more
@8RL4BND4yrs4Y
Yes, and provide more free public transportation and increase funding towards environmentally friendly solutions
@93GMFY73yrs3Y
The government should focus more on the reliability of public transportation as a priority.
@8SK6DMW4yrs4Y
Yes but only if it’s going to make it very affordable for the majority working class
@97368VY2yrs2Y
No, but they should provide more incentive to private transportation companies tp provide better services.
@95YRCC73yrs3Y
Yes, but only if reforms are bought in, reducing average costs.
