Q: How do you get people out of their cars during rush hours and back onto public transport?
A: Increase the price of travel on already overcrowded commuter trains.
This idea has come from people who are professional politicians. Why don't they just shut the fuck up and leave policy making to people who:
a. have actually been on public tyransport,
b. drive their own cars rather than have a publicly funded chauffeur, or
c. have had a proper job at least once in their life (and being an overpaid lawyer DOES NOT count).
Might I suggest, bearing in mind I qualify on all three counts, that the sensible way to reduce the overcrowding on early morning trains, is either to add more carridges or increase the number of trains stopping at stations on their way to London from anywhere where it is possible to afford somewhere to live.
Putting the price up helps no-one get to work, does not reduce overcrowding and further reduces the possibility of anyone transferring out of their cars and onto the trains.
Let the train take the strain? If only it took it off the wallet.
