O/T South Yorks Buses & Encouraging People to Use Public Transport

[Galant]

No it would be £1.20 land - the pound has devalued so stuff in Britain costs more (are you Corbyn and Abbott's lovechild - you seem to have their grasp of economics Lol.)

I'm guilty of muppetary, sorry old boy.

If you believe that you will believe anything. There are many reasons why people prefer to drive even if offered an efficient bus service. For example, try taking a mattress to the tip on a bus, try getting the legover on the back seat of a bus, try asking a bus driver to drop you off closer to home than the bus stop, try pulling birds by driving with the bus window open playing crap music at force 98, try getting away after a bank robbery on the bus, try going to a drive-in movie on a bus, try...well you get the picture. To some people cars are a status symbol or a pen1s extension. They would no more travel on the bus than do their weekly shop in Poundland

1 council will pick up a mattress or you can hire someone to take it away
2 I have had leg over as you put it on a bus (well technically she had her legs over lol)
3 if bus service were any good you'd already be dropped off close to home.
4 seriously that's how you attract women by showing how unreliable you are in a car while playing crap music. Dam and here was me looking smart being polite buying drinks while listening to them.
5. Yep good point we need cars for bank robberys 😂
6. We don't have any drive in movies in Yorkshire do we?
7. There are drugs and operations for a dodgy dick now days.
8. Cars are important to Modan life but there are people who can not drive due to medical issues, old age or can't afford a car. Not everyone is so lucky in life and no ones luck lasts for ever.

I don't use buses because I never know when they are turning up, price is too steep and unless I'm only going to town then it's two buses anywhere else

**** that

Pretty much

I actually use them quite often because I have a bus pass.

To be fair they are regular and punctual but sadly often occupied by smelly folks or brainless tattooed women.

And yes the atmosphere gets better when I get off (just to save my stalker the trouble making the obvious comment)

I wonder if in years to come, but only a few, you could use an app to book a driverless car to take you to your destination. No car to buy, or insurance, just the going rate for the journey. No cars parked up for 95% of the time, no buses either, we'll be able to play footie in the streets again.

I think in years to come public transport of whatever kind will once again be the norm, at the rate personal car ownership is growing there'll be no other option. Add to that the fact we're already on the way to banning petrol and diesel motors....it's a no brainer.

I use them every weekday for work. Since losing my licence I find them reliable and convenient.
I'm lucky though I live in kimberworth and work in town.

Have you looked down the back of the settee Scum ?
