00:00 I've actually used the trams myself, the metro itself, for about three years when I was commuting
00:07 into Birmingham. I think it's fantastic. I think it opens up more opportunities and avenues
00:11 for people to commute to work and make themselves more available to work. And in effect it actually
00:19 expands opportunities for people who are looking to grow themselves. I think it's fantastic
00:23 for the area as well. I think it feeds into the economy and it allows people to socially
00:30 move up as well. I do support the use of the metro. I've used it sparingly, predominantly
00:38 though I tend to use bus or train to get around Birmingham. However, I think for auto and
00:44 uber to go into the airport and further, it's really useful because it gives you that extra
00:49 option because you need it. Especially with train strikes and bus strikes over the last
00:53 year, we know how difficult that's been. If you've got that extra option there to be able
00:57 to use, I think it's really useful. I think the prices are quite reasonable for what it
01:01 is as well, so it's always a good alternative to have if you need to use it. I would like
01:07 to see them expanding to other areas as well, maybe like Kingsheath, places like that, Sellio,
01:13 to further give you options for travel, for work, commuting and leisure. I think generally
01:22 it is a good idea. I'm not sure how much I'd use it because when I come into Birmingham
01:27 it tends to just be around the city centre, so I'd walk, but certainly out towards, if
01:33 you go out particularly towards the football grounds more, I think it would be useful,
01:39 yes, the Metro. So I've used it a couple of times. I think the issue for me is I'm located
01:46 in central Birmingham, so most stuff is in walking distance. That being said, having
01:50 an extra transport route out to the airport and areas like that would be fantastic. At
01:55 the moment it's just the train or the car really, you can't walk there or cycle there,
02:00 at least as far as I know. So having another transport mode would be fantastic. Oh man,
02:08 yeah, I mean the more the better really, the more trains we've got the better. Yeah, it'd
02:16 be really useful to get from Briley Hill to Birmingham, being fairly local to the area
02:21 myself. Yeah, I'm all for it. Yes I do. Anything that's useful using the cars, I think you
02:32 use the tram, trains, buses. I would recommend all of them, but they need to be improved.
02:42 It all needs to be improved. The tram I believe, there's plans for it to go through to Medhill
02:47 at one time and that'll help even more, but you know, when it all happens it does need
02:56 to be improved a great deal and it needs security on it as well I think, you know, so people
03:01 can feel safe when they're travelling.
