Compare and contrast the Government language.
£3,750 EV grant on a £35k car: ‘helping families’.
Cycle to Work: ‘subsidising leisure’.
And yet cycling delivers TEN TIMES the impact of electric cars for reaching net zero. It’s almost like narrative, not data, is driving policy.

Very welcome - fare caps across both bus and trams.
🚌 🚃 “caps will work in conjunction with the bus operator, meaning that caps will apply across Lothian Buses and Edinburgh Trams, ensuring customers no longer need to purchase a day ticket from the bus driver, or the tram stop ticket machine.”
