Reasons To Disagree

Public transport will either live or die on its desirability, not on its subsidised status

The motorist already pays through his nose for the "priviledge" of driving on our pathetic road system.

Reasons To Agree

Our public transport infrastructure has been neglected for decades. Peak oil, high oil prices are going to mean that a lack of public transport will really hobble our economy. This is an urgent issue.
