i can see why city parking and congestion might be a problem. and the fun police ( who im having to pick up tonight ) get a network travel ticket at a reduce price ( and was FREE during Covid). but means she doesnt have to walk through town tonight when it will be full of idoits, ill be there on time will the bus? it wont have ripped seats, rain pouring in etc etc. and i would drop her off at our house saving a 10 minute walk from the bus stop down a icey downhill foot-path. Now which would you say was easier for her? me playing taxi or her relying on a GNE paid for from Durham County Council tax payers?
Everyones different though but like ive said no one in there right mind would dump the car to go on the bus at the minute
