Across all demographics, the majority of people have changed their transport habits over the past two years due to rising fuel costs and increasing public transport fares. Seven in ten out of the whole survey base said they had made changes like walking or cycling shorter routes, or avoiding long-distance travel. Four in ten say they are worried about affording the transport they need in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>The rising cost of transport is perceived as impacting those in rural areas and\/or on low incomes to the greatest extent, with a -28% net score. Respondents noted how public transport is generally less reliable and affordable in rural areas than town and cities, while access to electric vehicle chargers, walking and cycling routes is also perceived to be worse.<\/p>\n<p>People without cars, respondents said, are getting a bad deal out of the current transport system (net score of -18%). In contrast, those who own a petrol or diesel car were only perceived to be getting a slightly bad deal (net score of -2%). In short, those polled think the current system works best for those on high incomes with multiple vehicles, and worst for those who are completely reliant on public transport.<\/p>\n<p>At the Budget last month, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt froze fuel duty for the 14th year in a row. It came after the ban on new petrol and diesel car sales was postponed from 2030 to 2035 by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. The Conservatives are seeking to position themselves as the party for motorists ahead of the general election, with many MPs staunchly opposing decisions like the expansion of London\u2019s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) overseen by Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen Frost of the IPPR said: \u201cRhetoric from the prime minister fabricating a \u2018war on motorists\u2019 over the last few months has been incredibly unhelpful. \u201cIn reality, we know that even the most regular drivers also get on buses and trains and benefit from safer streets to walk, wheel and cycle. You\u2019re not either a driver or a non-driver, in fact, most of us drive and use public transport as well as our legs. So it is crucial that those in Westminster stop treating transport as a culture war issue and start delivering on the people\u2019s priorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/culture-war-on-low-carbon-transport-overstated-survey-finds\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edie.net\/culture-war-on-low-carbon-transport-overstated-survey-finds\/\">Edie.net<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/culture-war-on-low-carbon-transport-overstated-survey-finds\/\">\u2018Culture war\u2019 on low-carbon transport overstated, survey finds<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[14017,6785,1534,597,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-129409","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-culture-war","tag-low-carbon","tag-survey","tag-transport","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129409"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129409"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
