Technological changes throughout the twentieth century led to a huge growth in transportation. The coming of motorised transport opened-up new leisure opportunities; provided a relatively cheap, efficient and effective means of transporting industrial goods long distances; and had a revolutionary impact on town planning. Motor transport required roads of a high standard. The twentieth century also witnessed the introduction of new forms of public transport, which gave every resident the opportunity to travel long distances with ease. Trams, trolleybuses, motor omnibuses, Green Line coaches and taxis gave residents the chance to shop in other local towns and to venture further afield. Day-trippers could travel further to other towns to do their shopping or to visit the town's popular market.
