13. The Government wanted to introduce charging-per-mile for road users and got beaten back, though they continue to lambast drivers for not using public transport, even when in the cities it is inadequate and outside of them it is non-existant.
14. The number of cars on our roads has grown by almost 50% in 15 years but the goverment who collect £70billion annually from fuel duty have no where near increased the capacity of our road infrastructure.
15. They want us to use more trains, even though extremely little has been invested in the system by Labour, the High Speed line from St Pancras to the Channel is incidentally the first new railway line in this country in over 100 years.

Few related points here, where do you propose they stick new roads? Making them forever wider isn't a real option and then theres NIMBYs. Trains have huge subsidies and investment but not enough, I'd concede a fuck up here though it's more a lack of vision, they did inherit a mess from the tories. Buses are pretty decent today.
