The advantages of using public transport are generally synonymous but wider than the advantages of using pooled transport. There are benefits for the greater good (such as environmental protection) and for personal gain (increased safety).

• Reduced damage to the evironment - one bus emit far fewer fumes than twenty, or even five, cars.
  
• Reduced use of fuel.
  
• Buses and trains are safer than cars.
  
• Reduced time spent on maintenance of personal vehicles.
  
• No need to find parking spaces at your destination.

"Public Transport is Good. The Advantages of Pooled Transport." by Vexen Crabtree (2007) will eventually contain some more discussion... for now, it's just a pagelet.

The in-laws are visiting, things are going pretty smooth! We all had a good night out & invited some friends over afterwards... some of us was up until 3am in the morning debating pop. psychology and talking about cars. Sam was a drunk handful! I blitzed the house this morning, and peace is restored :-)

Have finished a book by Bertrand Russell, "Religion and Science" (1935), and added some quotes to some pages. A few bits of text are going towards a new page on the historical battle between scientists such as Copernicus, and the Church (with the Inquisition as its bulldog) that clung on the belief that the Earth was the center of the universe.
