Public transport in this country needs to be better

A lot of things would be better if people knew they could use public transport when they needed it at a convenient price. Not everyone is able to drive and cars are expensive to run. Economies of scale mean that the more people you put on one vehicle the more cost efficient it is. That isn't to say nobody should own cars, some people need them. However, a lot of people do not need, at least they don't if there was a good public transport system in place. Personally I would create a 24 hour system. It would cost more initially but I think the benefits in the long term would far outweigh those costs and besides if a 24 hour system with regular times was put in place a lot of the money people spend on cars could then be rerouted to funding the public transport system through taxation.

  • i despise public transport whole heartedly to the point id say they should be banned or moved away from me lol

    too many people all in one place, too many people crammed into one tiny sardine can? sneezing on one another with no way to cover it because your squashed ontop of one another? ... no thanks.... keep your germs, i want no one near me at all, if you made a public transport where we all have our own seperate cabin then fair enough, so long as the walkways we dont have to squash in kissing distance of one another.....

  • The U.K. railways are a total disgrace compared to the rest of mainland Europe, where even the former soviet bloc countries of Eastern Europe’s railways are way better than ours, even in first class rail carraiges and in modern carraige designs, they have done away with private rail compartments, except in sleeper trains from London to Scotland, such as the Caledonian Sleeper  - cross border rail travel in mainland Europe is an absolute joy, from Eurostar, the Orient Express and via Paris and Brussels to all over Europe and this includes high speed rail travel - even the Italian railways are way better and right now, the Dutch railways are very impressive - I almost find it comical that the Germans complain about their railways and about their older ICE trains
