It's more to the point that government, local councils and managers employed in public transport need to realise that most people are not sympathetic at having to stand in the pouring rain for 45 minutes waiting for a bus (like I did yesterday), and that train fares are too expensive to make railway travel a viable option. I'm reasonably happy using the bus for local travel (being of pensionable age I have a 'free' bus pass), but until things change, like most people I will continue to enjoy the convenience and lower cost of a motor car for longer journeys.
