@quixoticgeek @tml @SteveJonesnono1 Yup. Public transport should be funded like roads—as vital national infrastructure available to all and supported via the common purse.

@cstross @quixoticgeek @SteveJonesnono1 But now quixoticgeek and Charlie are talking about different things, no? Infrastructure (and rolling stock ?) vs train operation.

Quixoticgeek

@tml @cstross @SteveJonesnono1 it's all linked together. Trains should run at least every 15 mins, from every station, from very early in the morning, until late at night, and cost very little to use.

Once a society and government realise this is both worthwhile, and attainable. Then we can work out the infrastructure and operational set up necessary to deliver it.

Right now too many people start from the point that we can't have nice things because we currently don't have nice things.
