I strongly agree that the village hierarchy must reflect the provision of quality public transportation that provides a reasonable option to the car to and from places of work and study. That public transportation needs to be assessed by reference to frequency, hours of operation, and speed (relative to the car). Over the past 5 years, numerous large housing developments have taken place in village locations without good public transportation and the consequence has been entirely car dependent developments. This also has impact on the cost of living of people in affordable housing.
