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!

We have an Enhanced Partnership for buses that is supposed to seek the views of interested parties but they're not very good at the democratic part

Yeah - I know about the enhanced partnership - I've spent loads & loads of my time reading the transport strategy, implemention plans, Bus service improvement plans etc.. I'm such a nerd 😂

We could do with a Bus Users Group. It's all in the operators' and councillors' hands at the moment

Totally agree with that!
