Well said Kate.
I signed. Im not torn by the idea at all. People need to get to work. People need to be able to do this in the most cost and time efficent manner. If thats by car/bike currently then so beit.
What they need to do is remove road tax from all vehicles, and add it to petrol. That way the people who use it more pay more simple. This country has a good transport system, its just that it can not cope with the volume of poeple that use it. We have some of the oldest Rail networks in the world. Its going to need replacing. It just needs more thought and of course money, to sort it efficently.
Its one of those things that will have wider implications. This country is at breaking point as it is. Its gonna pop soon.
And at a pound a mile, I'd be paying ooo, about £19000 a year. Thats almost what i earn.]
Would you pay £200 to go on a rideout? How many of you would sell your bikes...oh hold on, you wouldnt be able to as no one would be able to afford to run it. THINK ABOUT IT!! Its not good.
