British public transport

Have your say on transport in your area

Too many people in Britain are forced to endure long, unpredictable, congested and expensive commutes.

Brits who drive spend an average of 115 hours stuck in traffic each year.

Two-thirds of people in big European cities can reach their city centre by public transport within 30 minutes, compared to only 40 per cent of the people in Britain’s.

Long commutes damage productivity and are estimated to cost the UK economy £23bn a year.
