strikes

Just a quick note to all you bus and train using socialsts out there

My van works fine as always.

Seriously, this is exactly why I never use public transport. Late, uncomfortable, dont go where or when I do, can't/wont carry my stuff, and frequently dont go at all, even without strikes. Dont rely on the state for anything, its useless and unsafe to do so.

The taxpayer (those that have cars and work) recently paid billions to the rail system and esp TFL to bail it out yet again. And so the gov should sack all those that strike on day 1, and instead of the 50k a year they get already should offer out their jobs at the private company rate of 25k instaed and use the millitary to keep things running till they get enough replacements. Nothing socialist ever works.

Until you get to your destination and end up driving round and round in circles looking for a parking spot

Train would be okay if it wasn't for w**kers like these blocking the aisle

Or the lifts between the platforms being 'out of order' and the train staff sticking you in the back of a WAV taxi. I HATE riding in the back of them bloody things.

Or the lifts between the platforms being 'out of order' and the train staff sticking you in the back of a WAV taxi which takes ages to arrive cos the staff aren't allowed to use a random taxi off the rank, they have to use an "approved" taxi firm in case I get raped or something. And the nearest cab from approved cab is bloody miles away

Also whenever embarking or disembarking or changing trains there's always the stress the staff ain't going to show up with the ramp and you either not being able to get on train, or get off, and go sailing off down line missing your destination or connecting train.

What fun!!!

Well today you have another problem. No trains, buses all over full and cannot cope in london, and so you wont need to worry if they turn up with a ramp! Welcome to public "transport". And it will last all summer or worse. This is why thatcher broke the unions, and took the UK from the "sick man of europe (socialist gov since the war) to being in a free market situation that caused us to become the 2nd wealthiest country in europe. Now we got the socialist/green (boris) party putting us right back into poverty. And we voted to leave the EU which still hasnt happened. You couldnt make this suicide up.

Wouldnt know.
I go in this, it goes quietly, where I choose, when I choose, it carries my stuff, my hobby gear, my own safety equipment, care stuff, its never cold, hot, smelly, infested with feral rats, people stinking of pee, and it comes back or changes route when I decide. And it has never been on strike, failed to go, been late, full, and it doesent stop every 2 minutes to let more desease or muggers on.

And much more space an the ramp (electric) travels everywhere you do.
You can drive from a chair so no need to even get out of it.

its GREAT having my own van. We used to have to get transported by having to call medicare one or two weeks in advance and it had to be approved. Then when they picked me up i had to go to each persons house they were also transporting that day took hours just to go a short distance it was horrible an they would cancel half the time

Public transit is relatively unpopular here in the US. For reasons.

[Burgerman]

Same reason as ours?
I would rather stop in than meet the sort of people that use public transport here.

Not that its working as usual.
