Oh don't get me wrong Ush, I probably would use public transport if it were at all reliable. But if I want to take a bus to my local office which is just over 5 miles away, I can drive it in about 10-15 minutes or I can take a 90 minute bus journey and change buses once.
Now we're talking a journey here that is between two fairly large towns, Dartford and Sidcup and that's just ridiculous.
If I wanted to go to Manchester, I'd have to take a train into London, a tube across London and then another train to Manchester. On top of that, if I have a meeting at 98am, I'd have to leave the night before and stay in a hotel. With my car, I can leave at 5am and still get breakfast in the West Gorton Office in Manchester before the meeting.
Public transport needs to meet the needs of the Public, tight now it doesn't do that and no government has ever really done anything about changing that.
