.Andrew Carter is addressing our joint fringe event with Centre for Cities at #CPC24. He says we need to change how we talk about transport. We need to talk less about big projects and more about interconnectivity, buses and walking - the things that matter most to people.

Natasha Grice of Transport Focus highlights how transport is not just about getting from A to B, it's about accessing education, jobs & opportunity. It's also not just about money & investment, but crucially about making our transport system more consumer centric, she adds.
