Transport Majority - The 85%

Let's have the democracy of majority rule in transport: Road space and the allocation of resources should be based on the fact that 85% of all journeys are made by motor vehicle. Speed limits should be scientifically based on the '85th percentile' in order to have a sound basis and consent. Let's not forget that the government makes a big profit out of the £58 billion in motoring taxes it receives each year, whereas bus and train travel is subsidised by taxpayers.

Introducing 'Transport Majority'

Transport Majority has been set up to promote the interests of those who travel by car - the genuine 'public transport' mode used for around 85% of journeys in the UK. This compares with about 6% for travel by bus, 7% for train, and 0.5% cycling. 'Modal Shift' is an agenda supported by a small minority made up mainly of local and national politicians who travel at the expense of taxpayers with 'real jobs,' the public transport industry, along with the anti-driver/anti-car lobby and industry, which includes condescending 'travel planners.'
