The GCP felt the findings showed public support for an initiative to make buses better and enhance walking and cycling links, only possible with less congestion and more funding.
The consultation showed that 70% of respondents were in favour of the future transport network that would include more buses to more locations, cheaper fares and longer operating times supported by better walking and cycling infrastructure to give people faster, cheaper and more reliable travel alternatives to the car.
