Castle Street roadworks end as figures suggest change in travel behaviour

"The investment, principally by Cardiff council and the Welsh Assembly Government, is clearly paying dividends and I'm delighted that we are clearly heading in the right direction and making great strides.

"Use of public transport is on the increase as are the more healthy activities such as walking and cycling. These are all good signs for a sustainable future. Car and taxi journeys have dropped and this fall which started well before the recession and is continuing.

"This shows that our investment in sustainable travel over the past two years is bearing fruit."
