• For reasons of childcare, I cut my commute down by using the Fucking Stupid Cablecar to get to North Greenwich. Of course, the Fucking Stupid Cablecar doesn’t work in high winds as it is, by design, fucking stupid. TFL have a status updates page for it on their website, but it displays as running a good service whether it is running a good service, a bad service or a fucking stupid service, which I assume is all part of the Fucking Stupid experience. Anyway, having got to the docks this morning to discover that predictably, and despite the good service status touted online, the fucking stupid thing was in fact being Fucking Stupid, I decided to ditch my bike at Canning Town and take the Jubilee Line one stop to North Greenwich. Forty five fucking stupid minutes later I arrived in work, because it turns out the rest of the fucking stupid public transport system is also fucking stupid.

    I hate that fucking cablecar, I hate Boris Fucking Stupid Johnson, and I hate public transport. Wankers.

  • Boris spunked £60m on The Dangleway, it carries 4000 passengers a day.

    Seville spent €32m on cycle routes that serve 72,000 trips per day.

  • Most of those 4000 passengers are tourists too. In terms of providing a legit infrastructural purpose (i.e. idiots like me who are solely using it as a means of getting from a to b and not for the fun / instagram opportunity) I expect the numbers are vanishingly and laughably small.
