The public will consider many alternatives to driving - if conditions are right
The national survey, sponsored by Railtrack, RAC, Confederation of Passenger Transport, BAA, Sustrans and the Pedestrians' Association, canvassed people's opinions on the current network and asked their views on improvements. The poll demonstrated that there is a widespread willingness to switch journeys from the car to other modes of transport - such as trains, buses, and walking if their convenience, safety and reliability can be improved. There is also widespread support for investing in better public transport systems and for improving the integration of different modes.
