Can such a thing be ?. It already is in the city of Hasselt in Belgium where car usage has been slashed. With the rises in petrol prices and road taxes and other motering costs as well as the seemingly neverending rises in the cost of public transport for its users, inevitably travellers and governments are going to be looking for more radical solutions. In the Scottish context, The Scottish Socialist Party have now launched a campaign for free public transport details of which can be found at http://www.freepublictransport.org/ a website which also contains information on the Hasselt experience.
I suspect that it can only be a matter of time before groups within England begin to look towards more and more radical solutions for the current problems of public transport as private motering becomes ever more expensive and environmentally damaging.
