Having seen the traffic chaos over the past few days as I travel in to work at Cardiff University, I am more convinced than ever of the need for a radical approach to create a sustainable transport system. I warmly welcome therefore the proposals put forward by Sustainable Transport Cymru BBC story here. We need significant investment in transport infrastructure, considerably improved public transport, the development of a substantial walking and cycling infrastructure, work on initiatives such as Car Clubs, and once the investment starts to flow - almost certainly congestion charging for some of our busiest roads - ideally for those driving alone or the most polluting cars.
I've also long advocated the introduction of an Oyster card in Wales - but I think given that we prefer Cockles to Oysters here - how about a Cockle card!
