Right. All those who work in, say, the City of London and so on who go
to work by PT are socialists?

Or being forced to do this by a socialist government or council? ;-)


Do you really think they do this by choice? It's because the road
system is inadequate and the locations have been overbuilt.


Same as every other capital city in the world, then?

Interesting you blame socialists for a lack of town planning, though.

Canary Wharf has some 100,000 people working there. Care to speculate on
the size of a car park needed if there was no PT to it? How long it would
take to drive there?


From my house, 55mins in the morning rush hour. 22miles. Canary wharf
does actually have quite good car parking.
