It is a bold vision of a joined up transport system where people use public transport and walk and cycle much more. But, we have some questions. While this may be wonderful for the city centre of Manchester and the areas close to it what about…
Have your say here – the consultation closes on 26th September 2016.
Personally, I think that our transport strategy will be overtaken by technology well before 2040 with driverless cars and other vehicles providing taxi services very cheaply, some within ten years. The benefits will be enormous, liberating more people to travel much more freely. But, the challenge will be integrating public services into a seamless whole rather than descending into transport chaos.
