WECA has published its Transport Vision
Our vision is for a better-connected West of England.
• Better buses: reliable, affordable services with one ticket and one timetable
• More trains: new stations and more frequent services with low-emission trains
• Mass transit: a high-capacity system that links our key economic centres
• Active travel: better walking and cycling routes, with e-bikes/escooters there for short trips
• Improved streets: smoother roads and pavements, more electric vehicle chargers, Park & Rides and travel hubs

Fair to say that it doesn't really contain any surprises, but it does continue to support improved public transport including Mass Transit.

Yep, nothing earth-shattering in there, but probably a lot more likely to be delivered than Marvin's starry-eyed visions of a Metro. Slow and steady does it we hope.
I'd like to think that the recent works at Bristol Airport have deliberately left the space in front of the building for a tram stop, but that seems a little too farsighted for this country!
