http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category3.asp A Selection of the latest gripes in the category of Transport and Travel from The Weekly Gripe UK Webz ©2006 http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/rss.jpg http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category3.asp I fly quite frequently due to relocating from Bristol to Glasgow. In the past I've also defended Ryanair as people complain about card fees, baggage costs and toilet charges. I stood by them saying that despite all these fees... http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1024.asp I have seen cyclists do dangerous and silly things. Some don't use lights when cycling in the dark, some cycle on the road when there is a perfectly good cycle path and I've lost count of the number I've seen go through red traffic lights. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1014.asp My gripe is with car insurance claims. Having had continual cover for 35 years with a clean licence my insurance has gone up so much that I will have to take my disabled son on a bus and will not be able to use my car any longer. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1007.asp Travelling by bus has its ups and downs but a new annoyance has emerged. Reckless bus drivers take your money and then race off, leaving you to stagger up the aisle with your bags, clinging on to the pole as the bus lurches around. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a1004.asp We recently booked a trip to Spain, and flew Ryanair.

People just dump them on the floor as they can't be bothered to take them with them. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a987.asp A person needs to evacuate their bowels or urinate at least once a day, so I find it quite despicable when someone or some company tries to turn a quick profit whilst servicing this most basic human need. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a966.asp People who put their dirty feet up on train and bus seats. How would they like to sit on dog poo and chewing gum from someone else's shoes? Do they have absolutely no consideration for the next person who is going to sit there? http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a956.asp I don't go on buses all that often, which is a good thing because I don't enjoy the experience at the best of times. Having to listen to someone talking loudly on a mobile phone for the best part of an hour has really put me off though! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a945.asp
