A few years back I was involved in the Free Public Transport Campaign. I’m happy to share information, ideas and contacts.

Rachel White, LancasterHow about a government that works for the people, starting with sorting out our transport and healthcare systems?
Edward Barnes, WarminsterOver-priced fares can suck it.
Pete Williams, SouthamptonI’d rather go by train than drive, but the sad fact is the car is far cheaper, even when proportionally factoring in initial price, tax, insurance, fuel and depreciation.
