Join Date: Mar 2009 | I don't know how they try explain the way they run trains and organise routes etc, but there is a few things I'd like to say.
1. For some reason, the prices are continually being raised all the time and can even be different as to the direction you are travelling.
2. There is not enough provison made for the folks that may need some special attention, nor for the students returning at weekends etc.
If there was a little more thought put into things, life could be so much easier for everyone.
1. If fares were reduced, there would be far more people use public transport.
2. Then make provison at busy times by adding more carrigaes rather than having passengers having to stand, even after paying more than they should have to for a seat on the train.
Another annoying sight to behold is -- a huge "First-class" carriage with only 1 or 2 in it, while the rest of the train is packed with passengers standing in the isles and gangways.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Live well, Laugh much, Love often.

On my way home from school yesterday the train was ultra crowded. It really stunk of people being squeezed together. Before allowing anyone on a train they should go through an odor detector first.
I like it!
I am so happy not to have to use them yet.
