agreed.
I got a train from Naples to Rome a few years back, cost €9.
200km, 1hr, rapid pace, assigned seats, comfortable.Train from Essex to London, ~20 miles, £15, slow AF, rammed.

fully agree, the bus is the same despite the £2 cap on fares.
local bus transport needs to be free and train fares need to be heavily subsidised across the board to incentivise people out of their cars.i went to a council meeting forum thing (leicestershire county council) on transport infrastructure / modal shift / yadayada last night.
the thinking seems so disjointed. yes they can build a new junction with priority for cycling / walking / wheeling, but that's not going to encourage people to stop driving everywhere.
people are lazy.
the projected statistics on obesity and other health issues linked to inactivity are quite shocking.

How expensive trains are.
I'm not a big fan of driving and would far prefer not to but when the train costs four times as much as the car it is hard to justify it.
