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.

Boris's Hybrid Buses Cost £1.4 million Each

Eight Hybrid 'Routemaster' buses will be on the streets of London today at a cost of £1.4 million each, compared to £190,000 for an ordinary double-decker bus. Apparently they are twice as fuel efficient as a diesel bus (that must be about 12mpg then).
