Tis ridiculous really-typical politicians back tracking etc. They want everyone to use buses-but guess what if we all did the emissions would be way over what they are now-not to mention hgv's etc...i wish i could use public transport but its just not feasible-i have to visit my dad twice a day 5 miles away and have a dog with issues lol so that wouldnt work-plus it would cost a hell of a lot more than running my car its like £3 a journey on the bus-twice a day 20 miles total-£6 which is a gallon of fuel and i can do triple that distance in the car for the same money-and i couldnt imagine doing the shopping on the bus! This country sucks sometimes.

I believe we should all have cars if we want and not be made to feel guilty about owning one. Ever since the global warming story arrived, it's become quite an anti-car society! Car owners have been clobbered from all directions, what with car tax, petrol costs, tolls, congestion charges, parking charges, parking fines to say a few! It's our independence and it should be our choice if we want to use public transport or not! We had a brilliant railway system up until the early 60's when Dr Beeching made his report and in indecent haste he destroyed the railways all in favour of road transport. Even the land from the railway track was sold off making it even more difficult and very costly to restore them if the need was to return! Public transport is expensive so there is little to attract the motorist away from his car!Originally posted by JJM View PostTis ridiculous really-typical politicians back tracking etc. They want everyone to use buses-but guess what if we all did the emissions would be way over what they are now-not to mention hgv's etc...i wish i could use public transport but its just not feasible-i have to visit my dad twice a day 5 miles away and have a dog with issues lol so that wouldnt work-plus it would cost a hell of a lot more than running my car its like £3 a journey on the bus-twice a day 20 miles total-£6 which is a gallon of fuel and i can do triple that distance in the car for the same money-and i couldnt imagine doing the shopping on the bus!
