Getting About
|
An interesting variety of transport issues were identified - this information can be brought to the attention of relevant transport bodies. Quite a surprise here: only 29% of households have more than 1 vehicle and a mere 1% have 4 vehicles!!! 15% have none. |
|
|
Less than 50% of you use the humble car, believe it or not! This of course needs to be aligned with the 29% return, but it is encouraging to see the variety of ways people get to work. We should pat ourselves on the back - although of course there's always room for improvement!! |
Main Means of Transport to Work |
|
Do you have choice of Transport? Yes 279 49.2% No 288 50.8% You said: Someone thought they might invest in a "Limousine - when winning the Lottery"….. Mmmm, not a bad idea! |
Alternative Methods |
|
Clearly 50% of you feel there is no choice in the form of transport you use, but this is what you would consider, given the choice: Interestingly only 62 people currently use the bus, yet a massive 162 would consider it an option. So what's the problem - we clearly need to investigate further!! |
