Ted Maul 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 The best thing about driving is not having to use public transport. No waiting about in the rain for buses that turn up when they want, no having to sit opposite at 14 year old Charva mother and little Chantelle who gets Greggs everywhere but in her mouth and best of all, no school kids.

Happy Face 29 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I like public Transport personally, but then I don't get a school run. My bus is virtually empty and I get a lovely boat ride on the ferry twice a day. Get all my reading done on public transport. I drove for 2 years and never read a proper book in the whole time. Plus I do a lot of walking now. I'd be a fat shit if I drove everywhere and sat at my desk all day. Plus With the traffic into Newcastle and through the tunnel. Public transport is quicker.

The Fish 10972 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 the Metro is like Rock Pooling, the sheer volume of nasty little creatures is staggering. hate the bus and the metro, either the chavs, the school kids (which can be the chav or non-chav flavour), the old biddies that smell of piss and digestive biscuits, the drunks and of course the extortionate price of it all. Spent the best part of a fiver just to get into Newcastle today. £1.70 to Whitley bay, then £2.60 to Haymarket. Bloody rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22007 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I find the metro ok, generally. I hate the bus though. 101350[/snapback] Only used it twice since my incident last year. If I started using it again I'd end up either killing someone or being killed I reckon. Driving is infinitely preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was walking down King Street a few years back and 2 lads tried to give me a pasting. I don't hate King Street now though, just arseholes.

I tend not to use it on a night time tho as getting off at Felling after 9.00p.m is smack heads paradise... i get a corporate annual pass through work tho so it works out about £1.00 a day to go anywhere I like on the "big yellow taxi".....

The Fish 10972 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 the traffic is a nightmare at times, but I'd still swap the horrors of public transport for a traffic jam any day of the week. plus you're more relaxed in your car, you can really enjoy pungent farts, sing loudly along to tunes that normally you'd be too embarrassed to even mime and of course the glory that is watching the plebs standing in the pissing rain waiting for a bus that's ten minutes late.

I haven't read a book in months now, never get the time. As for walking, I have to actually do that in my lunch hour. Still, it beats getting chinned. True that can happen anywhere in public but on the Metro you are a captive audience for the nutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10972 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 not snobby, just don't particularly enjoy spending any amount of time with people that I'd happily forced feed to a rabid chimp. oh, did I mention Goths.... they annoy me.
