Whilst i agree that using a car will work out more expensive in the short term what about situations where you need to get somewhere quick ( like a hospital A&e), pick up the daughter from a club in the town at 1 in the morning, travel to a destination that's 5 miles and 10 minutes drive away but takes 15 miles travel on the bus and due to poor connections takes almost an hour and finally getting to work when buses don't start till after 9am ( Sunday) or at all ( Christmas, boxing and new years day)? imagine paying for taxi's for all those journeys.
For me, as i've said before its no good bus travel costing the same or slightly cheaper. It needs to be a lot cheaper ..... but reading the above Im now tending to agree with Streetdeck fan... i'm not sure they want a load more passengers for the reasons above.
Something else that just come to mind. Can anyone remember when petrol was rocketing in price, would have been the late 90's early 00' i think. I was on an arriva bust and they had put signs up saying how sorry they were having to put up tickets for the 3rd time that year? Anyway i was just wondering if anyone's ticket had come down in price when petrol fell ike a stone? No? Me neither
