Public transport has always been awful; and over the past couple of
years
I've noticed that more and more often I'm squashed inside a bus or
train,
with hardly enough room to breathe, because the company decided to
cancel
earlier buses or trains without notice, and without making any
alternative
arrangements.
Because I believe that this gross-overcrowding is a serious risk to
public
health and safety, I've created a petition at
http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/sardines/ asking for action to be taken to
stop
this gross-overcrowding.
Therefore, if anyone else here shares my concerns, please co-sign the
petition, and if possible, please pass the message along to a few
friends.

Good idea. I've always thought there should be an active campaign to
discourage people who don't have to travel in rush hour from using public
transport at peak times.

I go to great lengths to avoid moving anywhere at peak times, I pity
the regular commuters who deal with the sheer unpleasantness of public
transport from the handful of times I've found myself with little
choice to.
the horror...
the horror......
the horror.........
Exactly my feelings, hence why I took a sizeable pay cut and moved to
somewhere nice with little traffic, rather than living in the London suburbs
(Highgate, Northolt, then Uxbridge), working in the City and commuting on
the bus and tube. AWFUL experience. Never again.
