I've been checking out the bus prices in my local area as my car will have to go into the garage soon to have some work done and I will be without it for a couple of days. To get from where I live to the next town (where Tesco is) will be the best part of £5.00! It's a 20 minute car drive, surely it doesn't cost that much in fuel?
Am I alone in thinking that this isn't the way to encourage people to use their cars less? Why would anyone pay more to use the bus, endure people playing their music on their phones (a pet hate of mine) the rudeness of the drivers, and more inconvenience? Yes, I know it's better for the environment, and perhaps I should want to use the bus for that reason alone, but AIBU to think it should be better value for money?

AIBU?
To think that the price of public transport is just obscene?
