Proceeding contribution from John Leech (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Motoring.

Motoring

Much needs to be done to attract more people on to public transport. The statistics show that more people are travelling by train than for many years, but bus patronage has decreased in most areas outside London, which is a worrying trend given that 86 per cent. of public transport is by bus. I agree with the hon. Gentleman, however, that the cost of motoring disproportionately falls on people in more rural areas.
