The Urban Light Transport System, currently being tested at Heathrow Airport, offers substantial economic and environmental advantages over conventional forms of transport. Does the Mayor support the concept of rolling out the ULTra transport system across London or will this be another fantastic British innovation either consigned to the scrap heap or poached by foreign companies.
