From Cheryl Hillier, Cribyn, Ceredigion, UK
The compelling case to reduce car use is the exact same powerful argument to incentivise the affordable public transport needed to replace individual car use. Unfortunately, rural areas have suffered from inadequate provision for so long that it is virtually impossible to live anywhere other than an urban conurbation without a car. Once you are funding car ownership, you are already paying through the nose for your transport needs. Paying additionally for public transport, whatever the expense, becomes an additional cost you can ill afford. Any directive to reduce car use and cut emissions and pollution must come with viable and affordable alternatives.
