If I drive to work, it costs me about £30 a week, but if I use the train, I would have to pay £55 a week. So it is more expensive to use public transport. When I drive to work, it takes me 40 minutes, but by train it would take me 90 minutes or more. So it is also a lot faster. It is also more convenient. I can just get in my car and drive anywhere! I can visit a friend, I can go to the shop, I can drive somewhere and go for a nice walk in the hills. So it is cheaper, it is faster and I don’t have to wait for a train or a bus. I love my car!

In Western influenced societies, there has been active discouragement of forms of public transport and it is now very dangerous to ride bicycles in traffic and often no means of walking. Given that we have a diminishing fossil fuel resource and we have global warming caused by fossil fuels , societies that have been influenced to go down the individual car route are soon going to be in big trouble. For me, when I was riding a bicycle into the urban centre to work, it was quicker than public transport or car, but now it is simply too dangerous. We (the public) need our politicians to embrace either public transport or walking/biking. That is my rant for today !

I think we should think our world more than ourselves.Am I right ?
