This mindset probably came about when having a car was a luxury and only the very rich could afford them. Slowly they became more affordable so only the rich could afford them and they were a status symbol. Then cheaper and cheaper so that the vast majority can now afford them.
However the cultural mindset of owning a car as a status symbol still exists. This may be a mindset shared by other nations, but I think more so by the British. The whole keeping up with the Joneses attitude and itching to have a nicer car than your neighbours and looking down on those who only have a second hand car, or god forbid don't own a car, the filthy animals.

Your imagination is letting you down. A tiny amount of routes are subsidised by the council.
And the council has no say in the setting of fares.

Well there we have it folks, the very epitome of private motorist selfishness. Just need to confirm that poster has kids in the car that he's inflicting his smoke and shit music - and it's ALWAYS shit music - on and we have a winner at Selfish Private Motorist Bingo
Did you just assume my gender?

This.
Finance arrangements make having a premium German or British car very-dooable over the last 20 years. Modest homes with a nearly new BMW, Audi and (BMW's) Mini outside. Unthinkable not so long ago. Jones's and/or You Only Live Once.
Why we should be paying more for parking

All looks nice, can only think the roads are going to be congested as only one lane

As the thread starter it's nice to see everyone following up on this. I'm only going in to the town a couple of days a week at the moment and the hold ups aren't that bad as there is little traffic on the roads. Christmas could be fun and games with Churchill Square getting filled up but then again, fewer people come in to town now because of the parking costs. Perhaps that's just what the council want.
I stand by my point that a single lane of traffic, that's both A23 & A270 cars funneled into one lane, just wont work.

"Phrase three." Don't you just love the Arsgas!?

Looking at the picture, I don't see it being a problem.
The bus comes down the southbound side of Old Steine, and turns right past into Old Steine itself.
Where would the problems lie?
More roads = Less congestion

Didnt they pay for the Isore?
If that is so, OK. My impression is that the present northbound area would be pedestrianised from outside the Royal Albion Hotel which is why I thought was the taxi drivers complaint about losing the taxi rank?
