Well said, Des! Why is the "public transport versus private car" policy always plenty of stick and damn-all carrot?
If the government wants people out of cars and onto buses and trains, then they can only justify making petrol dearer if they make trains and buses comparatively cheaper. Why don't they? Oh, yes... privatisation under the b****y Tories means the two components aren't within the same control regime.
I had to sell my beautiful 960 cos of rising fuel prices, yet my train fare went up by 11% in January.
