The development of such a system should not be a point of contention, and should instead be undertaken as soon as possible.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 2: Statement 2 - A free public transportation system would be beneficial for all. It would alleviate congestion on the roads, improve air quality and allow more people to access jobs and shops and services. It is unclear how such a system would be funded, but a feasibility study could help determine the costs and benefits of this.
# ALTERNATIVE NAME 3: Statement 3 - Although costly, a free public transportation system would have benefits to all.
