| Comment | I don't completely agree... We have the bones (much more than the bones really) of a really comprehensive transport system, one which other cities would kill for.
A suburban rail network better than anywhere outside London. Two major train termii. Underground suburban rail lines which run underneath those terminii, and could easily be rebranded as S-Bahn lines. A very broad bus network. A high speed metro on top of that in the form of the Subway, which is more than large cities in the UK have.
Where we fall down is in the lack of proper integration in ticketing.
Once that's solved, I genuinely think we're on our way to having the best transit system outside of London.
The signs are promising that this can be resolved over the next five years it so. The buses will be under one ticketing system soon, with subway to join not long after. Just the trains then it's close to job done. |
