I agree with many of the ideas outlined in "How would you fix Bristol's transport problems" (Post, 12.08.09) and Bristol's new transport supremo, whoever it may be, should give them serious thought. However, two policies before the Council elections in June had political consensus between both Lib Dems and Labour (the Tories noticeably not supportive). The first was a one pound bus fare for single bus journeys in the City and the second was getting rid of the First Bus monopoly. What was one of the first things the Lib Dems did when they got a majority on the Council? Put up the park and ride fares in from Avonmouth. The Labour Government has delivered with the free bus pass for over 60s and £48 million for an integrated transport system for the greater Bristol area. Now it is the Council's turn- force Tory Councils outside Bristol to accept an Integrated Transport Authority and get these two policies implemented. There can be no more excuses for not sorting this out! Sam Townend Labour's parliamentary candidate Bristol North West
