Soldato
'Cause it sure as hell doesn't work very well for me....
Got to shoot back to Burton from Coventry today for my Dad's birthday meal in the evening. Went to look at the train timetable, and low and behold the trains between Cov and Brum New St aren't running. So now I have a slow, cramped 50min bus ride from Coventry Station to Birmingham New St, a ~20 min wait followed by a slow, cramped 30min train ride to Burton, capped of with a slow, cramped bus ride to my parents' house. All of which costs me around £12.
So, let's look at the car situation then shall we? If I drive, then it takes under an hour to get home. I'd use about six thimbles worth of fuel since I'd be in the Seicento, so it would be much cheaper. I would arrive at my destination in comfort, and wouldn't be ranting and in a foul mood about the inadequacies of public transport.
So, I can pay more to travel by a slower, less comfortable method.....or less, and beat the train home by a looooooong way. Outstanding. On the plus side, I'm taking the car on Monday morning when I come back here.
