Blue = areas where more people commute by car than by all forms of public transport put together (plus walking). Yellow = areas where more people commute by public transport or walking.

[Not the Greater Manchester Mayor @gmmayor]

@SalfordCVS Awkward sorry but the Greater Manchester Mayor is @AndyBurnhamGM. @gmmayor is not the mayor... Yet.

Come on Manchester City Council this map is all wrong. 7, 7 and 3 are not in those locations or have closed...

@tim_dempsey Yes I would agree it's a big problem but many think it is the result of a previous failed military intervention.

[Not the Greater Manchester Mayor @gmmayor]

@tim_dempsey Yes I was only trying to answer your question. But there's only one thing worse than a military intervention, a failed one.

[Not the Greater Manchester Mayor @gmmayor]

@tim_dempsey Yes that's the problem and most people have no idea either.

[Not the Greater Manchester Mayor @gmmayor]

@tim_dempsey Historical record of failed air based bombing campaigns with no strategic ground support?

It's nice to see that @tony4gtrmcr wants to give a voice to the people of Greater Manchester, even if none of us asked or voted him to.

Will the appointed GM Mayor be restricted from running in the first election? @SirRichardLeese #DevoMancQT

[Not the Greater Manchester Mayor @gmmayor]

Can the GM Mayor give Plug In EV Hackney Carriages priority at taxi ranks? Specifically Pic Station & Airport. @SirRichardLeese #DevoMancQT

[Not the Greater Manchester Mayor @gmmayor]
