Overall, I support the Policy but disagree with the proposed BC Plan's unrealistic reliance on so-called sustainable forms of transport such as Public Transport, cycling and walking as set out in TRAN6, TRAN7 and elsewhere. Walking is only realistic over short distances and Cycling over longer distances is not an option for most people especially in our climate. Public Transport is unreliable, often uncomfortable and does not always get one directly from "a" to "b" - often one needs to change Buses which sometimes do not connect. It is inefficient. Connections to places outside the conurbation are scarce or absent.
