Really interesting to have a reminder of how you can look at things quite differently.

Why is public transport so painful?

October 8, 2009 By DanThornton Leave a Comment

Things strike me:

1. Kings Cross Underground is a complete cluster***k that should be
just kept closed until they’ve finally worked out crossing passenger
streams is a bad idea. Seriously. They could have dug more tunnels in
the time it’s been broken and yet every day it’s the same.

2. Why is it Nat Express don’t offer 89p burgers, or whatever the
MacDonalds price is – considering either people get on late trains
clutching a bag of bad food, or wishing they did? Gouging prices just
means I go hungry and east toast.

3. Public transport is an OK concept. Public transport every day with
idiots becuase there’s no other option is a crap concept foisted on
those with no alternative, hence the ridiculous pricing and service.
If I hand over my card to spend £500 plus, I’d at least get a smile,
even in a poncy Covent Garden clothes store.
