You may feel it was preachy and I must say it was a little, but it's so easy to do that when you feel strongly. So I forgive you :-)

What you say is correct. People should be forced to use more public transport, but you do have to make it fluent and welcoming and useful. I do use the car at weekends, but in the week I get the bus. I am lucky anyway that one bus takes me from 500m from my house to 500m from work, but that is too much for most people to walk. When I do actually bother to watch the road while standing at the bus stop I estimate only one in eight cars has more than two people in it.

A few thoughts ...

Tax breaks for car pooling? Don't know how you'd police it, but why not?

Do what they do here in Ireland now ... Buy bus/rail season tickets BEFORE tax. That's cool - nearly half price travel.

Scrap Maggie's stupid law on subsidies.
