No, Willow...which really means that they don't care a jot about the global warming that they are forever going on about, and preserving non-renewable resources.
If they were really committed to these high ideals, then don't you think that someone would have some up with an ecologically friendly fuel to run machines?
What do you think gets in the way.....the vast muscle of the oil and petrochemical companies who would stand to lose by this.

'Our leaders' will eventually have no other option. We will eventually exhaust all this planet has by way of carbon fuels.

Then public transport powered by natural energy sources will be the only option.

Taxes to fund public services will change - loss of reveue from one source will be replaced with others - that is what government budgets do

Although I passed my driving test at seventeen, and drove my parent's cars when I was up here visiting, I didn't own my own car until I was thirty nine.

In London car ownership wasn't an option. Public transport was quicker and cheaper.

After the deregulation of the transport system, when profit was seen as more important than service, outside of London I found public transport expensive and unreliable.

I lost count of the amount of times I've been stood at Accrington station (the first train never stopped at Church/Oswaldtwistle,) and the train never arrived.

No tannoy announced explanation, and certainly never any staff to ask why the train hadn't appeared, and if the next one might make an appearance.

Until they sort out prices and service level I'll stick to my car.

As on a previous post, I think its disgraceful that a taxi can be just as cheap as a bus.

Thats why I always use taxies onlyme, and they drop you door to door, well Ginger usually does:D

I've been to catch a bus once in about 20 years. It didn't even bother waiting for me to get to the bus stop so I ended up walking. They seem to think they can set off when they want, what happened to the customer comes first :D

Possible thats why people don't bother with public transport dave, and keep to their cars

Re: How Many Members Use Public Transport???
 

People who don't have cars don't have a choice, so drivers should be made to consider the customers!!

Re: How Many Members Use Public Transport???
 

Iv noticed more pensioners on the bus now, since they get free travel!

Well why not, leave the car at home...its cheaper.
