Britain’s most car dependent cities

Peterborough has been named Britain’s most car dependent city in a report by The Campaign for Better Transport. The Car Dependent Scorecard 2014 revealed a lack of use of public transport and heavy reliance on cars to get around when compared to 28 other cities in England.

Unsurprisingly, London remains the least car dependent city. According to the report: ‘With a devolved transport system and the historic advantage of a well-developed public transport infrastructure delivered in a densely populated area,it’s easy for residents and commuters to get about without a car. Using public transport in the capital is much more convenient than driving and parking in the city, and this has been supported through measures such as the Congestion Charge and investment in buses.'
