Contradictions * UK - Petrol prices down, bus fare prices up
Petrol prices down, bus fare prices up... explain this to me...
Reading,England,UK -Reading Evening Post/Get Reading, by Melinda Webb -27 Oct 2008: -- Sorry, but I just don’t get it... There are few issues more frequently discussed in Reading than that of traffic congestion... Whatever your views may have been on the one-way IDR or the possibility of a congestion charge, most of us would agree that if public transport were better – more frequent and more affordable – it would persuade more motorists to leave their cars at home and jump on a bus instead... A great deal of our traffic would disappear and everyone would be an awful lot happier... So with that in mind, it’s a bit of a kick in the teeth to hear that bus fares are going up next Monday for the second time in only four months... Reading Transport bosses are, predictably, blaming the credit crunch and citing the “massive 44 per cent hike in fuel prices” as the reason for this increase, which is all very well but fuel prices are actually falling again now....
