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?

So Matt

Can you please explain how I can travel on public transport with 150kg
of demo kit in 6 flight cases along with associated literature, cable
sets etc.

When I can use the tube I do, but with all that lot it's just not
possible.

Did anyone suggest you should carry that lot on the underground?


The suggestion was anti car, I can't do my job without my car (or a
small van etc).


It seems ironic that when you ask people why they still use their car
when they have alternative means (in general not on this newsgroup) a
majority of them tell you how much they hate using their car, how much
they depise drivers, how much they hate to think of the damage their
cars are going to cause in the future for their children yet they
still sit in traffic jams and drive everywhere.
And the minorirty of people who enjoy driving and choose to drive
everywhere tend to come up with great ideas like keeping to the speed
limit in order to beat those moneygrabbing people who install speed
cameras
At the end of the day. Its a choice between travelling in
air-condtioned luxury. Listening to music or the radio (and your
choice of music not whatever you can hear in the walkman of the person
next to you). In an enclosed personal enviroment that is as clean as
you wish it to be. In your own company or company of people you know.
