Having a mass rapid transit system for Bristol would have to include some kind of underground network but would only cost around £7 billion - and not the £18 billion a report leaked last month suggested.

That’s the view of the Mayor of Bristol, Marvin Rees, who has written to Metro Mayor Dan Norris calling on him not to scrap the work towards a mass transport system for Bristol.
