TRANSPORT - Time to invest!

Increased investment is needed in Britainšs public transport system to bring it up to the highest standards in the world.

The fiasco of rail privatisation with different companies running services and track leading to higher fares and lower safety also needs to be resolved.

Congestion of our towns and cities must be eased by the provision of greater incentives to use rail and bus transport instead of private cars. The first step is to end the crime and squalor that puts so many people off public transport.

Motorists must not be made the scapegoats for government failure. Fuel tax should be cut, motorway speed limits raised, and hidden speed cameras should be banned. Far more must be done to encourage the development and use of cleaner fuels.
