Fare Free Public Transport

This is all excellent stuff, Bob. However, I am far more opposed to Metro trams and Sprint buses than you. I am opposed because of their gross extravagance and, therefore, high greenhouse gas emissions to worsen the climate crisis. The £15 billion going into trams replacing buses and trains, plus hundreds of millions for Sprint routes should be used for FFPT and for bringing in electric buses and trains. Both trams and Sprint complicate public transport with more changes, for example between bus and tram to get into the city centre from the west. Keep it simple with FFPT for all and, only electric buses feeding into and out of railway stations with their electric TRAINS (not trams!) instead of houses, offices, shops and cars on our remaining railway lines.
