It's detailed ways the Government should make driving more expensive.

The Government should aim to cut driving by 20 per cent in the next seven years in order to curb emissions, a think tank has said.

At the same time, Green Alliance said revenues from higher driving charges should be invested in public transport and infrastructure for walking and cycling, including cutting rail fares by 5 per cent, bus fares by 15 per cent and making both buses and trains more frequent. “The Government is emphasising that climate change will be beaten through ‘tangible’ measures, but there is currently a gap in ambition to reduce transport emissions. We’re showing here that a shift to greener travel is completely attainable. Ministers just need to choose a sensible route.”
