    You might hate it but freedom to travel is a vote winner, unless you can push similar messages about making people’s lives better and freer then it’s going to be hard getting people on board.

      These measures are only freer travel for those who can afford to drive (and sit in traffic). Fuck everyone else, because tory

      @Meowoem @mondoman712 All the more reason to clamp down on cars, which really do limit people’s freedom to travel, especially those who don’t use cars.

      For those how have experienced travelling in places with high quality public transport and active travel infrastructure, the freedom from motorised congestion IS a real vote winner. Hardly anyone wants to go back to the noise, congestion & pollution of the car… Only those who have never experienced real freedom, think it is the car

          Also when you live in the city and need to do anything that involves more than just a small backpack, got a tool box and a couple of bits of wood? Enjoy the bus lol

        Where are you talking about? My local public transport network is considered one of the best in the world and it’s far from a vote winner lol
