(03 Oct 2020, 6:53 pm)Kuyoyo When developers start to design their estates with public transport in mind, then maybe companies will change their minds!

The issue is the size of the roads, if they make the roads big enough for buses, they can't fit as many houses in. If they can't fit as many houses in, they make less money. If they make less money, they won't do it!

Isn't there a planning condition in Durham that there must be a bus stop within 400m of any new development, and if there isn't the developer has to subsidise it?
