In the likes of transport, is part of the problem that we are bringing in the stick before the carrot? We have not invested in public transport, yet we are saying to people to get out of their cars. We have that balance wrong and we need to switch that around. We need to put in the public transport and have as many buses, even if they are not full because if the buses are provided, demand will be created. Does Professor Caulfield think that part of the problem is we are coming at it the wrong way?
