The Local Transport Infrastructure
Posted by Administrator : Friday 1st March 2013
HOW DOES OUR LOCAL TRANSPORT COMPARE? For years people in the Southend community have made their feelings known when it comes to public transport. Our frustrations usually stem from delays, cancellations and sometimes two (buses) turning at once. However the local council, local companies and the government still haven’t come up with a solution. There are alternatives out there such as cars, car pooling, taxis and cycling. However this does not suit all.
What are your views on our local transport system? Good or Bad? Let us know your ideas and problems.
