Am I the only one to applaud this fuel crisis?
Naturally essential services and public transport must be maintained. But the result of general car users eager to conserve their petrol by refraining from making non-essential car journeys and where possible using public transport, is quieter, more peaceful streets.
Surely this was one of the aims of the high petrol tax - to persuade motorists to use public transport? Perhaps some motorists will now realise the advantages of public transport and after the crisis is over, continue to use it. Or is this too optimistic?
