Comment | These are all huge issues but entirely separate to us hosting COP.
Honestly, I'm completely with you on public transport and on the general state of city streets. If anything though I see COP as crystallising these issues and actually putting them front and centre of public debate. It's difficult to tell the public they can't have integrated public transport ticketing if you're rolling it out for international visitors. It's difficult to pretend the streets are clean and we're somehow getting by fine with unresolved pay disputes leading to constant strikes, when it's happening while the eyes of the world are on us. |
