Who would want to give up their car and chance their arm with the state of public transport as it is at the moment? The buses are over crowded and infrequent, trains are erratic as well as expensive and if you live in London the only other alternative is to do battle on an overcrowded and dirty underground system.
Another thing about commuting to work by train that really winds me up, is the cost of refreshments. How can the rail companies justify charging the extortionate prices that they do in buffet cars and for snacks and drinks from refreshment trolleys? Isn't it enough that we already fork out a kings ransom for the ticket?
You can now complain online
I've come across a few sites on the Internet that publish passenger complaints and in some cases actually forward the letters on to the transport company involved, so they are definitely worth visiting.
Train Refunds
Rail passengers have had a tough time of it lately - well now there's a new web site which aims to help regular passengers, including those who use London's Tube, claim compensation which is rightly theirs.
