Park and Ride is a waste of £2m a year.
It has made no significant difference to the volume of traffic coming into the borough.
Just ask the residents of Old Walcot.
Nearly all the roads in that area have vehicles parked along them from Monday to Friday.
Why should we, the dwindling army of council tax payers, facilitate a service for outsiders?
This money should be used for the benefit of local people.
After more than 40 years of driving, I have given up owning a car.
The hassle is never worth it.
I use public transport, which is also a joke, but it will only improve if it is used more.
It also needs to be clean, reliable and affordable three things it lacks right now.
If a good service cannot be achieved, then the private sector should be brought back. It did a wonderful reliable job during World War II.
These companies were smoked out after the war by local councils subsidising the likes of Thamesdown Transport, which helped them to undercut private bus firms.
