It is a fundamental part of the equation for individual, regional and national growth and is especially important in rural areas where public services are not easily accessible for people without cars unless there is reasonable subsidy for public transport.

Coupled with the mounting pressure that the government is exerting on decarbonising transport, a pressure valve must be installed to ensure that low carbon transportation is available as a realistic alternative for commuters.
