transport modes are in competition
non-road modes of transport are always better from an environmental perspective
MODES ARE COMPLEMENTARY, NOT COMPETING

8. CREDIBLE REALISTIC ? SUITABLE ? SCIENTIFIC ?
Halve the use of conventionally-fuelled cars in cities by 2030 and phase them out by 2050

By 2050 the majority of medium-distance passenger transport should go by rail (High Speed ?)
REALISTIC ?
SUITABLE ?
SCIENTIFIC ?

9. PRIORITIES FOR THE AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
