Sustainable travel is important to the town. However, it has to be convenient, affordable and reliable. greater use of busses is likely to have the most flexible of the options listed. However, to encourage people away from the car they must cover a grater area of the town and surrounding area, be reliable and regular and operate 24/7. better use of the existing train lines, especially the Fenchurch Street line with affordable hop on hop off tickets would be a benefit. Transport opportunities need to embrace technology, contactless payment could encourage use.
