Does anyone know where I can access any resources on how Nottingham developed its public transport netowork to what it is now? It is arguably the 3rd best system in the UK (behind Manchester and London) despite being the 9th largest city. With austerity getting worse in this country, I wonder if there’s anything worth learning about how to establish good public transport on a budget. Maybe similar sized cities like Leicester or even bigger like Leeds can adopt some of the strategies that made Nottingham into an easy place to travel around without a car.
“Nationalising” services to a council (idk what that would be called, councilising? lmao?) is so based.
“Public ownership” is the generic term, I think, for a service that’s owned by the pubic (via some level of government). Also: agreed.
