Free public transport for inner York?

A SIX-MAN study group on transport
problems, of the York and East Yorkshire Architectural Society, has proposed that nearly all traffic should be kept out of inner York, within the walls of the city, and the streets given back to pedestrians. In such an historic city it would be cheaper to provide free public transport in order to retain the existing narrow-street pattern and historic buildings, says the group.
The proposals, published in the society's journal Perspective, would restrict the entry of buses, commercial vehicles and private cars to the inner city. A compact, continuous service of free public transport would be needed.
This service, in the form of 12or 20-seater electrically operated units, would start from the city centre and travel to setting-down points at the cardinal points of the city outside the walls. where small local bus stations would carry passengers to the suburbs and outlying districts.
