There at it again

[PaulaSB12]

I see that government "experts" are again arguing for road charges to "force people off the roads". There on about charging us per mile for driving on the roads, also they want to massively increase the road tax so for a 1.2 clio it would go up from £100 to £600 and there is no mention of reducing petrol tax. How on earth do they expect people to get to work? Public transport for me is impossible as I work 3 shift system (morning shift, 7am to 3pm, night shift 11pm til 7am and afternoon shift 3pm til 11pm) there is no bus that would take me to work so I HAVE to drive. Does anyone get irritated by the use public transport people who forget that bus companies are reducing busses and the train companies are reducing the trains available.

Public transport is just about acceptable if you live in a city, though after using "Laarndans " underground in the heatwave I would also question this.
But live outside an urban connubation and you have no chance.

Secondly, who if they had a choice would want to be stuck in a bus for over double the time it would take you in your own transportation, wet and smelly and cold in the winter, hot and smaelly in the summer? With sometimes people you would call the Police to if they were in your street. This is after you have either frozen to death or boiled waiting in a greenhouse for the damned bus to turn up. Lovely.

MP's with their free first class train seats, their first class air flights, their own underground, have the audacity to tell us to use public transport more.

Freedom of the individual, that's what matters most.

It's just rediculous. If I want to go to my mum's house it takes an hour by car or 3 hours by public transport (assuming all the connections run together.) If I want to go over and see her for an evening, it's just not feasible!
