1. As the voice of the future, do you believe young people should have more of a say when it comes to discussions around sustainable transport? If yes, please suggest how this may be achieved
Yes. This can be achieved by listening more to people and less to corporations.

Yes
3. How often do you travel sustainably?
Often, 5+ times a week

Very few, if and only if planned and implemented properly. Focusing on pedestrianisation and increased public transport rather than facilitating travelling by car leads to more walkable areas that are nicer to live in, a boost to the local economy and the high street and to the environment.

12. Is there anything you would like to add or tell us about advantages or disadvantages regarding sustainable transport near you?
Privatisation has gutted and ruined public transport. Bus fares are up 403% compared to 1987 and the number of routes/services has dropped significantly. And despite being private the British taxpayer still subsidises these companies. Public transport should by owned by the people and run for the people. It leads to a win-win for everyone except wealthy shareholders, in every aspect of life: environmentally, economically and more.
