How thr fuck do I force/ lobby my local council to implement acceptable public transport into my town
I live in the UK and my town has not got transport that allows mobility for all. No bike lanes (and if they exist they're just painted on the road), no bus lanes (buses get stuck in the same rush hour traffic and everyone else which doesn't incentivise people to take them) and these buses are also unreliable and infrequent. What makes it worse is that my local council is right leaning. How do I hold my local council accountable to implementing even the cheapest solutions to traffic and transportation? How can I lead to public transport change in my community?
You're viewing a single thread.
Look up local bicycle advocacy groups in your community. They're great at helping people to get involved.
We don't have one but I'm open to starting one
Strongtowns.org is a great start.
You could also map out bike lanes, road surface types, and bike trails in your area in open street maps. This will make the data accessible to other apps/sites using OSM and make it easier for everybody to find/make bike routes. Same goes for bus stops, etc. StreetComplete, EveryDoor, and Mapillary are a few apps that are handy to accomplish this.
This is a feasible goal I can work towards, thanks
Have you considered moving...
stupid homeless people, why don't they just buy a house lol
