Runaway train fares.

[empip]

Train fares will rise above the rate of inflation tomorrow for the fourth consecutive year, with passengers on longdistance services facing the highest increases.

Bus passengers in London will find fares rising by more than double the rate of inflation, with the single cash fare up 33 per cent to £2. Passenger groups said that the increases would encourage people to abandon public transport...

I was in the 'big apple' 2nd wk Dec ...
A 'metro card', unlimited use of bus and subway ... 7 days US$24 (at my ex' rate £12.90)... Longest wait for a bus in downtown Manhattan at 5pm on Thurs 15 mins, subway.. did I really have to wait??

Traffic? I failed to spot mammoth traffic jams...

Not that many people have embraced it...
