Sign of a balanced system to be frank.
Both sides think it’s biased against them.
Nothing fairer.
I’d be very interested to hear from drivers how they think non-drivers are favoured.
Car-first policy has been so ingrained for so long that it’s become the norm, so any movement of the needle in the opposite direction, no matter how small, feels like a huge upheaval to car owners, when it’s actually just redressing an imbalance.
I don’t drive. Never have. I’m in my thirties. To be honest, I’m really glad I don’t. People always question it, especially when applying for jobs and such.
I’ve tried learning three times during my life and two out of those three times I ran out of money to be able to continue learning. Third time round Covid hit.
I look at how shitty drivers are, how bad the roads are and how much it all costs. Also, the fact that if I start relying on a car and it breaks down or I have an unlucky MOT, “That’ll be 500 quid please.” won’t cut it – that’ll mean I no longer have a car.
I just don’t see the point. I will say that public transport nowdays is completely arse though. At least where I am. About 10 years ago it was much better.
