I’m disappointed (but not surprised) by the result of the public vote on the Greater Manchester Transport Innovation Fund proposal.
Ultimately I’m confident that as congestion continues to increase over time, the general public will come to understand the importance of a more efficient and sustainable transport system, they will place pressure upon the public and private sectors, and that the improvements for which we had hoped will eventually come into being.
In the meantime sustainable economic growth and the lives of many will remain stunted whilst I continue to beat the congestion using my humble bicycle.
Advice for bookmakers: Slash the odds on record cycle sales in Manchester for the next ten years.
