The Conservatives have overseen a decline of more than 200 million bus journeys since 2015 and failed to invest in railways, all while Johnson dreams up vanity projects like his island airport, a dud garden bridge and London buses that don't work.
The Tories simply don't get the need for excellent public transport which gives people a real alternative to individual car use.
Boris Johnson's reckless Brexit plans would be disastrous for the economy, meaning less money to fund vital transport and infrastructure projects.
The Liberal Democrats will invest in improving our rail network and restoring bus routes across the UK, as well as freeze rail fares for five years. Our plans will help more people find alternatives to car use that fits in with their busy lives.
By stopping Brexit we can invest the £50 billion remain bonus in projects that will bring real improvements for people across the UK, tackle the climate emergency and build a brighter future for all.
The latest Immigration Statistics, published this morning, show that 51,906 people are waiting for an initial decision on their asylum claims, an increase of 33% since last year. 31,516 have been waiting for more than six months, a 68% increase.

COVID-19 will leave a deep scar on our health and care workforce, who have gone above and beyond to tackle this dreadful virus. Thousands have lost colleagues, endured serious illness, or faced significant trauma.
Whilst we can hope to get a grip on COVID-19 in the coming months, the mentalhealth impacts will last a lifetime.
