Public transport is so unreliable and expensive in the UK that many have no option but to drive for their commute to work. I believe if the government subsidised public transport many more would convert to your way of thinking.
Public transport is so unreliable and expensive in the UK
Yet, from a north American perspective the UK's public transit system is aspirationally good.
In the UK, you gotta pay £50 for a return trip to London lasting 40 minutes. Train companies gouge the ever loving fuck out of you and Stagecoach, a popular bus company over there, is no better.
Although I guess that's an improvement over not existing at all. Might as well not exist to most families though, for the prices they charge.
Can confirm, if the trains ran early enough for me to take one to work then I definitely wouldn't have a car right now.
Kind of insane how badly our rail network (and postal service) has degraded, apparently it used to be really good, like five times faster than it currently is. Alas... Fucking Tories got their hands on them.
Ah yeah, I almost forgot how competent the fucking Tories are.
It's not like the UK can't have these necessities, the government just makes it impossibly difficult time and time again.
