Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the feasibility of powered two-wheelers as an alternative to public transport while capacity is reduced for covid-19 social distancing.
The Department’s guidance issued on 12 May refers to “Private cars and other vehicles” as an alternative to using public transport and encourages the public to “consider all other forms of transport before using public transport”. This would include private vehicles such as motorcycles and mopeds where the journey to be made is appropriate.
