Tony Benn used to advocate for this. And not when he was in front-line politics. I think that gives an idea of how un-mainstream this view is.Originally Posted by DangerMouse
Example: We do not have a public transport system any more, we have a private transport system who's primary objective is shareholder profits, not about getting people inexpensively and safely from a to b. I personally think the public transport system should be free at point of use and paid for by personal transport taxation (I might've to hide under a chair for this one!).
I think some degree of subsidisation to transport can be argued for - especially for remote communities like the Western Isles.
