Default Why People Won't Use Public Transport in London

For a long story not worth going into I am currently trying to
prove for a client the benefits of using a private car/taxi over
public transport. I am intrested in anyone who lives in London
(or any other major city/Town in the UK or rest of the world)
who has access to good public transport such as buses,
trams, trains, underground, other LTR but still drives to their
place of work.


3 million people use the Tube every day (plus 155,000 on
the DLR). 5.4 million people a day use the buses. If you find
anyone who uses a car despite having access to public
transport, you've found a) someone in the minority and b)
someone who likes sitting in traffic jams behind delivery
trucks and transit vans.

WHY would you want to convince someone that being in a
car is better than being on public transport, when it's slower,
causes more problems for other people and does more
damage to the environment?
