People go on holiday by train, having booked a particular train weeks in advance. Is that suddenly not public transport? Of course not. Can you not understand somebody not seing a charter you cannot just get on as PT? You dont have to argue every fing tiny point you percive is a minute criticism of PT in some minute way to the 99999th degree! I can see his thinking. If you relaxed so could you. I can see his thinking, and it's wrong.

I wasn't talking about individuals- I was talking about the costs of a BMW 7! are you being intentionally obtuse? No, you are. you were talking about individual travelers car v train. Only company execs use BMW7s, usually with a chauffeur. I mentioned that part as a joke, for goodness sake. That's what the smiley was there for. I also mentioned the average cost of a car. -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate http://www.davidhorne.net - real address on website "Abominable, loyal, blind, apparently subservient."

And in a lot of cases, more expensive. i think thats true of trains, but its not why *I* dont use it. It depends - you can get good deals on the trains but it's rarely cheaper for 4 of us to travel by train than it is to drive. Once you own a car. No, total cost. My car costs about 30p/mile taking into account *all* costs. But the average cost of a car is over £5000 a year. I used to get an allowance of about EUR 50 cent/km allowance. It didn't cover the cost of running even a Fiesta. It might cover the ford focus on 12,000 miles a year! -- (*) ... of the royal duchy of city south and deansgate http://www.davidhorne.net - real address on website "Abominable, loyal, blind, apparently subservient."
