Complaint about public transport 5230Dave Plowman (News) I don't. I don't have to. I don't live there, I don't work there, and I never go there (any more) on a weekday - not even to spend...

It does to me, since the people who have paid and are paying for those "improvements" are not the ones to benefit from them. If better-newer buses are required (and I expect they are), they should be paid for out of bus fares, just like Easyjet's aircraft or Speedferries' catamaran.
It takes a particularly perverse turn of mind to be able to claim that when one is being charged once again for something one has already paid for, one is being provided with something extra. Drivers already had the right to drive in London. The current situation is a diminution of rights, not an enhancement of them.
...yet more money has been extorted from the pockets of road-users.
I frankly and openly admit that I expect to be able to go wherever I need-want to go and to be able to park when I get there. That is the whole purpose of running a car.
I understand that you also run a car, so the concept of going where you want to, when you want to go there, must be a relatively familiar one to you too.
And of course, I am not the sort of freeloader who expects to garage their vehicle on the public highway.
Speed Humps "Save Lives". Allegedly. 5231Adrian pretended : IMHO they serve no real useful pupose as their effect (the cushion type) on different vehicle types varies so much. I can drive my car over them squarely wheels...
Not everyone can claim that, eh?
