It's chicken and egg though.  There's no reason why I can't use the bus for work.  But I don't.  Paying handsomely for the privilege of sitting on the 69 for the best part of an hour doesn't do it for me.  I can drive it in less than half an hour most days.

Similarly, we can choose to get the bus to the Metrocentre at the weekend.  Again, we don't.  A family day ticket is probably our best option price wise, but is over a tenner these days and the bus takes just over 20 minutes.

We'll take the time saving, thank you very much and go mad and have a coffee with the bus fare.
