Public transport can provide a sustainable viable alternative to car travel.
Evidence suggests that public transport has the potential to replace 21% of existing car journeys in urban areas around the UK. And, although buses are used more than any other public transport option for local journeys their use has declined by 11% over the last decade.
Public transport needs improving
So what's stopping people from hopping on to buses and trains? Expensive fares, the need to pay twice to change and complete your journey, and the notion that public transport - particularly bus travel – isn’t very pleasant to use and takes more time.
A better public transport system will not only offer smarter travel choices, it will also enable people to leave their car behind and travel more sustainably - and be more inclusive for those who can’t afford to run a car. This is why Sustrans is calling on the UK government to invest in affordable and reliable public transport.
