No it’s way too expensive it’s ridiculous
@9DW4LKH2yrs2Y
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.
@9D635DR2yrs2Y
Depends on what is spent. “Public transportation is very broad”
@9Q7XG4H9mos9MO
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.
@93VGXT33yrs3Y
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
@92GFY7L3yrs3Y
I think it’s funding is perfect and should never be lowered or hired
@8Y72N7Y3yrs3Y
No. Spend the money better. No more privatisation
@8Y3RXZH3yrs3Y
@8Y3R5D63yrs3Y
Yes but people should pay to get on trains.
@8XKSMTY3yrs3Y
Fund electric car ownership grants alternatively
The people will be asked this via Liquid Democracy if a petition on the issue of raising the question via referendum is successful.
@8TK47544yrs4Y
Yes, but in more rural areas
@8SX3LXV4yrs4Y
No, improve existing roads and infrastructure.
@8SPY22P4yrs4Y
increase funding on electric vehicles
@8SBCTX9Liberal Democrat4yrs4Y
Yes, but publicly owned and not subsidies to private companies
Installing more bus lanes and reducing traffic lanes for other vehicles from two to one is another way of creating congestion in some areas - You need those in authority who make these decisions to have some inkling on what they are doing before implimenting silly ideas and schemes which don't work, waste time and taxpayers money.
@8RR75ZB4yrs4Y
Keep what we have well maintained and environmentally friendly
@8NFYPZF4yrs4Y
@99RMKWS2yrs2Y
Yes but aim to aim towards environmentally friendly solutions
This country needs a fairly priced efficient railway service
@97ZC8B22yrs2Y
Yes, but only on existing Infrastructure.
@8SXT5YF4yrs4Y
No they should use existing budget to provide a better managed, cohesive and inclusive public transport system.
@9736G382yrs2Y
Yes, and work to make it at accessible and environmentally friendly as possible.
@96HXYMH2yrs2Y
Yes only if the money goes towards modernising public transport and make it produce less emissions.
Yes, and nationalise all our public transport infrastructure
@96245FW3yrs3Y
reword the question xoxo
