This is based upon the assumption that the increases in public transport capacity will happen and that if they don't then the result will be more over crowded trains, buses and tubes. Do you think that it is realistic to assume that car traffic won't grow faster if we get the population growth, the development growth, but not the increased public transport capacity? .

Why are plans to widen the M25 crucial to London's prosperity? Has TfL been pressing for road widening as its contribution to the Orbit Study?

Do you feel that the proposed large scale investment in laying fresh tarmac in London is preventing investment in traffic reduction measures, such as Safe Routes to School, car sharing, workplace travel plans, travelsmart, etc' .
