Over 6,000 passengers took part in the survey, which found that 80% of users are happy with the reliability, cleanliness, and comfort of services. Additionally, 94% felt safe using the transport, and 90% were satisfied with value for money. The survey also showed 41% of passengers use public transport daily, and 30% use it two to four days a week. Suggestions for improvement included increased punctuality and frequency.

If you’re interested in civic engagement in the mobility transition, read this new-ish paper by Viktoria Allert & Gerhard Reese. It’s all about how the car-centric system makes it difficult to fight against it & what we need to overcome it:

Creating a common social identity, belief in collective efficacy & strong in-group norms & goals are important for participation in collective action for sustainable mobility.

Old Trafford (the stadium) always struggled to build more because the trains ran alongside the place. And then the other side of the train track, none of the residents would sell their place.

I guess Manchester United has finally bought all the houses around the stadium and convinced the local government to shut off the train line to Liverpool whilst they redevelop the entire area.

Some big big money being thrown around here.
