Summer 2023 has – so far – been a bit of a wash out. But that doesn’t mean it has to stop you from getting out. And what better way to do so than by leaving the car keys at home and hopping on a bus, bike, train or tram, or just on foot to explore some of what the UK has to offer, writes James Kershaw.

Cycling and walking are amongst the hardest modes to monitor for transport professionals, ranging from city centre roads and pavements, to canal tow paths and parks. But data is crucial to make informed decisions about active travel, writes Tom Ellerton.

When it comes to major transport schemes, the transformational impact they will deliver underpins calls for investment and the business cases of such projects. However, there is limited evidence on how this transformation materialises and the benefits provided to places and people. New research aims to plug this gap, writes Monta Drozdova.

Buses have a crucial role to play in the UK’s path to net zero – both to achieve modal shift and decarbonise our transport system. Over the last few years buses have become central in the public discussion over the future of transport – but are we in the midst of a green bus revolution, asks Monta Drozdova.
