Actually investing in public transport would involve, for example, paying the staff in line with something broadly akin to inflation, too, rather than giving them real terms pay cuts (see - pretty much anyone in a public service job these days), so if it were done properly, that would be less of a problem.dinny_g wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2024 9:38 am I'm all for improving public transport as an alternative to the car but something needs to be done about the unions because as cars become less and less of an option for most journeys, the unions have a strangle hold over the government to get what they want. Too powerful IMO
Of course, that would involve it being done properly...and we all know how that song and dance goes in the UK.
