    Best bus network, yet walking is often faster. That doesnt bode well for the rest of britain lol.

    I agree its very pedestrian friendly, and in town bicycle paths need improvements ye

          Manchester is also way better than the average, as long as you stay close to the centre. A lot of public transport has been de-privatised in the last few years as it was the first place to do so after regional mayors were granted the authority to do that (in large part because the regional mayor had been lobbying to get the authority to do that), so now there are more buses and they’re better and cheaper.
