    "Something weird is happening," says Phil Goodwin, professor of transport policy at the University of the West of England. "Car use in Britain is on the decline, but no one is exactly sure why." Goodwin says we have reached "peak car". If he is right, this has important implications for how we design our towns and cities, and where public money gets allocated."

    public transport is a good industry for the future. “The population is only going to continue to grow and age,” he says. “Urbanisation is only going to continue and then you add to that the cost of building new roads, maintaining new roads, parking, congestion, the whole green agenda.”
