Will Arriva ever be held responsible? (2)
According to a report on The Times (October 17), the majority of our MPs do not use the new public transport system. They probably never used the previous one either.
Despite its shortcomings, as one who has always used public transport to commute, I find the present system far better than the old one and cheaper too. How about our MPs giving a lead by using public transport so that more people use it more regularly instead of their private cars to reduce pollution and traffic congestion?

For the few it may be cheaper than the old system but for the majority it is far more expensive

Even btter idea would be to remove MP's free tax funded vehicles, thereby forcing them on to the transport system which they masterminded, These parasites swallow up far too much tax money for their own greed.
