I fully agree about bus fares. Sadly, the bus company isn't there to win favour, it's there to make money.

You drive at 20mph in fifth gear? Your poor engine...

You make it sound like reducing car use is a bad thing. Of course they're all about reducing car use, principally because cars are heavy pollutants. Buses are bigger pollutants, of course, but not 85 times the pollutants (I use that number because that's how many a bus can hold). But to call...

I think it's more 'Greens are anti-dangerous parking'. As is the rest of the council.

I don't think they have made it worse, though the Argus and others might try to convince people otherwise. The things that people scream about involving the council are age-old screams that will never go away. 'My road needs gritting / my bins need emptying / where are the police? / why are...

I don't totally disagree with the last part of your statement - their PR in countering these perceptions is dreadful. But what will almost certainly be evident is that when the next administration is formed (and ALL permutations are on the table), the city-wide 20mph zones won't be rescinded...

You're quite naive when it comes to local politics aren't you? You've got this ill-considered point of view that an administration (or even an individual) being pro-public transport is anti-car. That's total gibberish. Similarly, if the Greens were anti-car, the city would be closed off to...

Brighton is pretty full up with shoppers. It was heaving again on Saturday.

Doesn't work well for whom? Car drivers in the rush hour? Probably. Cyclists, bus users, pedestrians may well disagree. Mind you, I went over Lewes Road at Moulsecoomb 5.45pm today, and it was damn near empty. But as with all things (and there were howls of hysteria when the Amex's transport...

Yes I can. You, however, are very clearly anti-public transport. In fact, you've made it plain you're very anti-public.

How many more times does one have to say 'how many more times?'

EVERYONE pays for the roads - motorists and non-motorists - through general taxation. The money from VED is not ring-fenced. The taxation you pay is for the vehicle not the road, and the amount of VED you pay in mainly dependent on the emissions the vehicle makes. Bearing in mind owners of...

The simple point is, for those who want to score political points from this, there's (literally) no point. They're all in favour of it. So, depending on your point of view, you can blame / credit everyone. Myself, I'll go for credit, for the most part, though I'm still scratching my head about...

He also suggested a rapid transport service that went UNDER North Laine.

Were you being serious? You say that, but in Dr Anthony Seldon's book on the Past, Present and Future of Brighton & Hove, he suggests just that - he called it a Water Taxi service.

Could you drive to Lewes and use that as an effective P&R? Similarly, while successive council administrations down the years (not just the Greens - it's been all of them) for both Brighton and Hove - before and after they joined together - have not come to terms with a suitable P&R site...

Polite answer - yes.

I never said cyclists paid for a road fund licence, nor a road tax, purely because it doesn't exist. Which means that you don't pay it either. However, we all pay for the roads via general taxation, motorists and non-motorists; cyclists and non-cyclists.

I'd be more concerned that you concentrate on your own driving, rather than actively looking for trouble while driving to justify your faux-fury.

Oh dear. Did you really do that? Oh dear.
