Exeter alone is an example of increasing congestion; Honiton Road was shut on Sunday and it took an hour to drive into town via the Pinhoe Road diversion. On a Sunday !
Re-introducing electric trams would help reduce congestion/CO2. Exeter Tramways was only closed because of bottlenecks on the High Street in the '30s, ironically at the same time as the By-pass construction started. City Centre pedestrian/regular tram only (bar emergency service vehicles), subsidised ticketing, would result in better productivity for the local economy and cleaner air. A solution lies in the past.
