Cycling and walking levels will remain high after lockdown – transportxtra
A survey has revealed that almost half of respondents plan to carry on walking and cycling more often in Greater Manchester once the pandemic is over. The COVID-19 recovery survey, conducted by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), found that 47% want to maintain their new travel habits after positive experiences on bike and foot during lockdown.
TfGM’s network intelligence data also shows that cycle trips are up 25% compared with the same period last year (March 2020). Meanwhile, the number of walking trips has fallen slightly (down 10%). “However, considering lockdown restrictions and local high streets are largely closed, this data shows confidence in making journeys on foot and by bike across the city-region,” says TfGM.
