I had to get on a bus yesterday with my 2 French Students to take them into town. About 15 minutes away.
We waited at the the bus stop for about 1/2 hour by which time both them and I were getting fed up. Stepped onto the bus to be greeted with the cost of £1.70 per person!
So for their 1 way tickets cost £3.40 and my 'there and back' cost £3.40!!!
For 15 minutes traveling :-0
For that money I could have driven the shed (van) into town, parked all day and still had change for lunch!
They reckon buses are there to cut transport costs? I am now quite happy to drive a massive shed (van) about adding congestion and pollution to the roads because unless they lower prices - I am not paying that again.
I had to go to a meeting in London a few months back and I don't even think I paid that much in the capital!
What is going on? The country really is going to pot! Or should I say has gone?
