It is becoming increasingly important to monitor transport in Scotland. Last year: there was controversy about the safety of our railways, there were protests about the high price of fuel leading to disruptions in oil supplies; and the link between transport emissions and climate change again featured in the media. These issues have raised many questions about the sustainability of our transport system. How convenient and accessible is our public transport system? Is there too much traffic on the roads? How can we promote more sustainable ways of travelling? Should fuel prices be lowered?
This chapter aims to inform the debate on some of the above issues. Topics covered include modes of travel, travel habits, costs and convenience of transport, transport safety, and the impact of transport on the environment.
