UK Public Transport

Car dependence isn't accidental, at least where I'm from. I hate to see the UK imitating America.

Would have to look at their paper itself, but I can't find it so far.

I got you, OP.

• The full policy document is available from Friends of the Earth: https://policy.friendsoftheearth.uk/insight/how-britains-bus-services-have-drastically-declined

• Here's an interactive map of the results: https://mapst.ac/foe/bus-service-decline-since-2010#6.75/53/-2.75

And also another relevant thing that wasn't in the main article is the name "Dr Malcom Morgan", of University of Leeds' Institute for Transport Studies. I find it weird that it took a wee bit of digging to find mention of him when it seems he was a big part of the University of Leeds arm of this partnership study; most coverage I've seen quotes Mike Childs instead, who seems to be more on the public facing side than the active research (not checked though). (Source for Dr Morgan's involvement: https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/transport/news/article/5727/new-research-shows-bus-services-outside-london-have-plummeted)

Anyway, Dr Malcom Morgan seems like an interesting person, from scanning over his page - I particularly like the emphasis he puts on Open Data. (https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/transport/staff/964/dr-malcolm-morgan)
