But as we have said, the infrastructure is there. There are regular trains, there are regular trams, there are regular buses, there are coaches.

If people don't want to use public transport, then that cannot be blamed on MAN.

I certainly wouldn't dream of using a bus with a family in tow and heavy cases. There is no direct line to Manchester near me and no coach stop, and due to population density near me, it would be unfeasable to put such infrastructure in place, so, I have to use a taxi or car. So, if that's the situation for me, it's a situation for countless others.

How is MAG supposed to persuade me to use public transport?

And this is the issue you have. I'm sorry if it offends, but for anyone to say MAN suffers from a lack of infrastructure to the main core towns and cities is just ridiculous.
