Default ANNOUNCE: PlanAJourney - The BEST UK Journey Planner

Well, it turns my journey from a 25 minute car/15 minute motorbike
journey into a 2-3 hour nightmare, with no guarantee I will be in time
to start my shift, and that is just Mon-Fri. On Sat-Sun, I might as well
phone in sick, because I's be sacked for my time-keeping.
Working a 12 hour shift, I'd be very miffed to put another 6 hours
travel time on my day.
Your site just shows up what a load of ******** public transport is
compared to using ones own initiative. I appreciate public transport may
not be the best thing for my own circumstances, but people shoving it
down my throat as the be all and end all of saving the planet just
sticks in the self same throat. The other answer often given me is car
sharing. I know no one else who works the same shifts as me, travels the
same way, geographically,or would be prepared to wait around when it was
their turn to share, even in the same company I work for, or any company
in a fifty mile radius.
If you can get the sheep to follow your herd, good luck to you. Don't
expect this goat to follow.
At the best I could hope for more clear roads, with less car users, ie.
the people who can barely drive, but use a car for convenience to the
detriment of people who can actually drive a car with pride in their
skills.
