Dear decision-makers, one and all - pictures to make you smile if you get down that far!
The hundred of millions for diesel Sprint and £15 BILLION for mainly trams to 2040, means yet more rising greenhouse gas emissions that are threatening all life on earth with runaway climate change, this century. The more we spend, the quicker finite fossil fuels become exhausted and, the quicker we give ourselves a runaway greenhouse effect like our twin or sister planet, venus.
Far better to avoid making earth as uninhabitable as venus by using the money to give everyone (not just my age group) Fare-Free Public Transport in the W Midlands, like Luxembourg, Dunkirk and Tallinn in Estonia.
Fare-Free Public Transport is also compensation for there being a higher risk of getting Covid when using bus, train, tram.
Far better to redeploy Sprint staff into reversing the continuing waste of the Black Country Railway by using the wasted 56 Kms in the Black Country and south Staffordshire for commuter and regional trains.
Use Sprint staff to put passenger trains on freight-only lines.
It is unfair for Solihull to get both Metro trams and Sprint diesel buses. For the west of Brum, we get a slower and longer journey by bus into the city centre, changing either to the tram for the final section or, staying on the diverted and slower bus route that no longer uses the Five Ways underpass!
STOP ADDING TO THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT!
STOP COMPLICATING LIFE BY MAKING YET MORE CHANGES BETWEEN DIFFERENT PUBLIC TRANSPORT MODES!
START ACTING RESPONSIBLY.
