Road traffic problems seem to be spiralling out of control. Incentives to encourage passenger rail and bus, and commercial rail would seem the best solution. Cost of rail and bus use should be far cheaper than car travel. Public transport routes timings frequency should be able to replace the majority of car journeys, especially to/from work. Currently this is not the case. I'm comparing living here with my hometown of Nottingham, where I mainly use the bus, as they are quicker, cheapter, frequent and run at times to suit travel to/from work. As well as evening social travel. Consequently buses are always full. In Essex they have very few passengers much of the time.
