Here, it has worked wonders by making people change their habits and daily routine. It generally sees people opt for public transport rather than their own car, which is a win-win ... the roads are clearer and the buses run better.

The fundamental difference between Stockholm and Liverpool is that public transport in Sweden is regulated and coordinated and the state recognizes the need to support it through taxation. If only it could happen here.
