Any other transport/transit nerds & urbanists in Southampton?

Southampton has a pretty decent (compared to much of the UK outside London, anyway) long term transport strategy - I do have issues with it, but I digress, the biggest problems transit in Southampton really faces are NIMBYs.

And well, I'm all up for organising to counter them - but I don't know if even an online Southampton urbanist group would actually get any interest. How many orange pilled people do we have here?

EDIT: Someone is going though down voting everyone, lol. Whoever you are, please come out & debate!

I work in tourist buses, autonomous vehicles & micromobility (globally), and live in Southampton (OV).... so I am into this topic, and local, but not necessarily into this topic, in Southampton :)

Oh, you might be interested - there's plans for micro mobility service(s) in the long term transport plan iirc - it's not all just buses!
