Well it removed it from the political arena. The whole question of private care threatened to move it to centre stage but when everybody was equal and were seen to equal then it moved off stage.
The emphasis on private transport has always bedevilled British infrastructure. Even in the highly densely populated areas public transport has never been innovative.
London still has its big red buses (too many of them competing with other traffic for road space) and overfull underground. Its botched attempts are cycle infrastructure has created more injuries and chaos. It has not improved the quality of life but created more aggression on the streets. Our cycle infrastructure is one of major attributes to the relaxed way of life here and the happiness of the children. The way infrastructure is run has a massive influence on society.
