I do detect from some a snobbery when it comes to bus travel in Wales , as if its some form of transport for winos, elderly and the infirm.
Me I love it , you meet the world and more and £3.40 for all day travel , is wonderful value ,cheaper than staying local and buying a pint of Guinness and some nuts.
To be fair Llandaf North and Whitchurch has excellent bus and rail services , nearly every 15 minutes of so, because of the valleys.
However as Paul points out, its crossing the other way where its appaling, best to keep of the roads in rush hour though.
Did catch leader of the council selling the virtue of cycling and improving that experince probaly to the detriment of car users , so he had his highly paid team have had a chat to be fair,congestion charging looms , works in London , all folk use London Transport .
We are absolutely desperate for The Metro.
I also used to hate bus lanes, but now realise that every full bus is 20 - 30 potential cars off the road, making car drivers' journeys quicker, not slower.
I also cannot state strongly enough, how many more cars would be kept off the road with a train service from St Mellons / East Cardiff. I was pissed off with that whilst living there, over 20 years ago.
I couldn't wait to live somewhere where I could use the train again.
Although I think the Cardiff East Park and Ride off the A48 and subsequent bus lanes has been a great idea for people there, and therefore other road users heading to town.
Think the message here from our leaders is " stay in " and became a keyboard warrior.
