Public Transport is Good
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.

/me is in a bad mood! Grumpy! *puts on scowl face*

Partially is because I spent thirty minutes waiting for a 20 minute late bus, and when it did come, it then terminated 10 minutes down the road, a full 30 minutes (drive) short of where I needed to be! By the time the next bus arrived and I got in, I was a full hour late!

I detected I was in a bad mood so I went and sat in the canteen and drank coffee and ate some chocolate! Felt better :-)

Then an old (literally) friend came and sat with me, and we talked about Arabic language, he knows Spanish and knew some Arabic-Spanish stuff, and I was comparing it to Hebrew, so between us we make a surprisingly good (and odd) team!

Arabic is much easier than Czech in terms of grammar, but just as hard in terms of pronounciation.

I have a sore-throaty cough. I remember that last year after moving house, in about August, I had a bad cough that lasted two weeks! It was terrible! Maybe there's a yearly London cough -- it's the only illness I seem to be susceptible to!

I'm considering going home... I need to play with the Routers here, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to today! Routers are fun, I actively enjoy them!
