It was good to see coverage of the vital issue of gridlock in the city (The Argus, January 6) but those who run public transport can help, too.

Thameslink is banning bikes from even more of its trains from January 16, which will mean more people driving to train stations or simply driving all the way to work.

There are no cycle racks at some stations, such as Preston Park, and limited ones at others. And what if you need to cycle once you get off the train?

As for buses, they are good but so expensive they put a lot of people off regularly using them.
