yup and every year they increase it

Fuck trains. When I have to go to the capital I take a bus when I have time, or a flight when I don't.

If you're lucky, the flight is less expensive.

Do they not have cars in your countries

Cars are useless when you live in the middle of a city.

Cars is cheaper

Like absolutely useless, and the prices here are insane.

You just drive and find a parking spot near by then walk a few blocks to the event

I should also state that price is for an off-peak coach class ticket

I'm sure the meter is less expensive then these prices for trains you are quoting

Owning a car here isn't less expensive if you don't travel pretty much every day.

what happens if something goes wrong and you need to leave your area? you have no way out.

I guess you could mitigate the cost by car pooling, but still, it's going to be close. Gas prices, weight fees, insurance fees, wear and tear. I did the math, in my case, it won't work.

What do you pay per litre for Petrol?

it's around 1£ I guess

you're basically trapped

1.2 - 1.3

seems like it's about the same

you are a high tax country tho?

but it's still cheaper to drive into London

the Trains are insane

Probably the highest taxes in the world, here.

but I haven't checked in a while. You never know in Europe, someone might pass a tax and take the lead.

depending on your location within some countries, it can be worse than here it seems

if wiki is to be trusted

due to local tax rates

The Europhiles talk about Freedom of movement but it's too expensive for me to take a train to the Capital

A city I know very well

"socialist" parties here are always screaming about lowering public transportation costs

never seems to happen though, even when they're in power

I would say it's one of the few things I would agree with Corbyn on

yeah, but will he actually manage to do anything about it

if he's elected

Nationalise the Rail

national company here is the most expensive <:LUL:372856126007410689>

fuck

and if Denmark can't do it

bernie sander's socialist paradise

who can

our rail is owned by the French
