It did succeed in directing people to the website but we need to know how that was broken down and its effectiveness because it is taxpayers’ money. So many people cycle into the city now. It has changed dramatically in the past ten years. I almost feel at times as if the NTA evolves rather than jumps in the context of the way in which transport develops. In other words, because there are now cars, buses and bikes sharing the same lanes, it has decided to move towards segregation. So many people cycling into the city and they are putting their lives at risk on the roads. In terms of equality, how can the NTA justify spending predominantly on buses and not skewing it more towards cycling, which does not lead to carbon emissions and is healthier for people? How will it redress that imbalance in order not to be just catching up next year? Will it grasp the nettle and resolve the problem?
