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. Any views, opionions outright
rants agasint public transport inculding the obvious overcrowding,
dirty trains, expense would be appericated.
Unfortunely spamming and a general distrust agasint anyone asking for
personal details on the internet stops me for being e-mailed directly.
So just post here. Although if you really are anti-public transport I
would like to hear from you and will give you an accessible e-mail
address.



Is it by any chance a car company this is for?

The fact that you dictate your means of private transport is a large
bonus in this case, you choose what car and what way you go to an
extent. The facility of the car is a very strong arguement over public
transport, you can be on the way straight from your house and
vice-versa. Also cars carry a lot more than is humanly possible on
public transport making shopping easier. In certain conurbations the
road system has been designed for the car and it is easier than using
public transport to get around these places, Birmingham springs to
mind. In rural areas a car is a must, no public transport or very
little.
