yeah its stupid at times were told to take the bus / train as there supposed to be subsidised. yeah right were going down to essex the end of feb plane was £101 plus petrol gettng to glasgow parking then the train from stansted, train was £140. using auto route to go down the A1 getting an average of 31 mpg ( a get around 32 around here with in town and country driving so hope to get more) it will cost £90 in petrol so i save around £50 by polluting the world yeah i feel good about it

public transport only works in cities where there is frequent buses and trains along with set prices such as edinburgh has all day travel on the bus for £2.50 in london last year all day off peak travel (after 9am ) was just over £5 that was tube and bus
