> We have 11 million cars on a population of 17 million.
Yeah, but we have 23 million bikes.
It's true that our public transport has been neglected. The privatisation of the 1990s was a bad idea in my opinion, and public transport should be run for the public good, not for profit. Like roads, it's part of the nation's infrastructure. And better public transport means less people on the road, which means less traffic jams, which will also mean better travel times for people who really do need cars.
The number of bike trips and car trips aren't that far apart (25% and 32%). Public transport still lags way behind at 3%.
