Ha Ha public transport

[Lizzard[MPE]]

we went straight through Detriot, and we sat there in traffic Foreveeeer

[Dr Mordrid]

hehehe...and I bet it was during rush hour too.

That route would take you straight through what the locals call "Malfunction Junction"; the I-94 & I-75 interchange. That interchange has been a disaster for ages....

Oh you are not kidding there Doc!

Also I-75 in Dayton OH had a Malfunction Junction also but some years ago they rebuilt it all... only a couple thousand jacknifes were neccessary to get it done.

I-75 is a malfunction just about everywhere it goes.....

The train company involved has been fined 2 million pounds for it's crapness. However a thousand a week trains will still be cancelled. So much for privatised transport

Arriva Northern said about 6 months ago that they were spending lots of money training new drivers but they kept leaving to other train companies. They should have done something about this then. Increased pay perhaps? Better hours? But no they seem to have done bob-all about it and now look what’s happened.

After a number accidents due to badly maintained railways and the Railtrack fiasco I think it's time we took the railways back into entirely public hands.

Pit’s right about the bus service in Sheffield, there once was a time when it was entirely run by the Council and paid for by Sheffield residents. Back then you could get anywhere in the City centre for 5 pence.

Public transport in this country sux because it’s run by private companies who put profit before service.

Lizzie, we don’t hate cars in the UK we love ‘em, problem is our roads are congested and running a car is getting more and more expensive (plus we really should be doing something about pollution, but don’t get me started on that one).

I used to like driving but it's getting so crowded and full of idiots I find it a pain in the ass.
