"Almost a third of British drivers are now choosing to walk or cycle more frequently in response to soaring fuel prices, a new survey has revealed. A further 15 percent of motorists are actively considering making the switch to active travel."
"The YouGov poll, commissioned by the charity Cycling UK, surveyed 2,099 UK adults between 31 March and 1 April. It found that driving less and increasing walking or cycling was a more common response to the current cost-of-living pressures than other measures."
"These included going out less (27 percent), using public transport instead of driving (23 percent), cutting back elsewhere to afford fuel (19 percent), and car-sharing (9 percent)."
"A litre of petrol is still 25p more expensive, and diesel 49p more, compared to that date. Drivers are now cycling and walking more in response to the fuel price crisis."
A recent YouGov poll indicates that nearly a third of British drivers are walking or cycling more frequently due to soaring fuel prices. The survey, conducted by Cycling UK, found that 15 percent of motorists are considering switching to active travel. This response to cost-of-living pressures is more common than other measures such as reducing outings or using public transport. Petrol and diesel prices remain significantly elevated, with a litre of petrol costing 25p more and diesel 49p more than before recent Middle Eastern conflicts.
