This. Every word.
Active travel is not a competitor against public transport. Unless we make it so by failing to integrate the two. We also need secure cycle storage including e-bike charging at key and rural bus stops.

Public transport often treats bikes as a luxury—or worse a competitor—but without them leaves revenue on the table.
For 25 years, the Dutch have extended the reach of their railways through investments in (300,000) parking spaces and (25,000) shared bikes. The result? A doubling of train ridership.

Have you been looking around primary schools recently?
When looking, have you thought about #AirPollution and the impact of how you travel to a particular school?
Can you choose a school you can walk, scoot, cycle or wheel to? You'll be making that journey around 2,730 times over the next 7 years!
