Yes, to reduce congestion

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

 @9NL828Qanswered…6mos6MO

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

 @9NGGVVManswered…6mos6MO

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

 @9NBB2V8 answered…6mos6MO

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.

 @9NB7S2Vanswered…6mos6MO

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

 @9N4P2PGanswered…6mos6MO

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
