Don't get me wrong, we have a car and it has improved the quality of our lives immesurably, plus DP needs to commute 60 miles to work 3 days a week in an area with no reliable public transport.
But where is the middle ground in all this? Why aren't the public transport systems being overhauled? If we know resourses are scarse, there is a war in the middle east, that it's use is largely responsible for climate change and only higher taxes will discourage use - why do we all want more of it for cheaper prices straight away and are prepared to mess up peoples already stressful lives considerably in the process?
