Answer 3

I think you are confusing a general strike with a peoples revolution (Russia 1917 etc).

Answer 4

How do you propose we do this?  I rely totally on buses - due to ill health and cost I do NOT drive - to get to/from work (if I fail to turn up I don't get paid) and do my food shopping.

Answer 5

Do you really think that a general strike over public transport is really justified?  You don't think it would be best saved for something important, and not because you cannot get a bus when you want?

Answer 6

Actually the U.K. has rather good public transport compared with most countries. No it isn't as good  or as cheap as France,Holland,Switzerland and Germany, but the buses and trains run virtually everywhere and are generally very frequent compared with most countries. Try finding a bus to the nearest town in a remote Spanish village or having the choice of 3 trains per hour between two medium sized towns in the U.S. or Canada? The French TGV system is marvellous but it only connects very large towns; many rural lines in France have suffered huge service reductions or closure in recent years.

Answer 7
