I'm broke, you're broke, we're all broke. Even the smug guy on the balcony with the croissant hasn't got two AmEx gold cards to rub together these days. Tell everybody your schemes to save cash.

It costs me more to get the train to work than it does to drive.

Drive to train station (stupid non-linked transport system) lets say a tenner a week (it's a tenner in a cab door to door)
Parking £20 for the week
Train £50 for the week
Time 1 hour
Motorbike
50 miles round trip = 2x full tanks of petrol @ £20 so £40 all in. Plus I've polluted less, I'm sure of it.
Time = 1 hour plus it's door to door.
I am discounting insurance etc as I'd need that for the car to get me to the train station anyway.

Console yourself with a life of alcoholism and incest, resulting in inevitable suicide.

Haha, yes that old biscuit. I do take the train to work, but only because the hassle is slightly less than driving. The cost is the same.
Edit: 999? I think I have been trolled.

It's free, good exercise and everyone else in the office keeps their distance all day because of my sweaty stench.
Oh, and I get to be all self-righteous and the only one that's in the right on the roads, too.

Things like "Shania is talking to her friend, and they're browsing a magazine together, laughing over Britney's latest foibles. They don't need to worry about traffic. Shania is on this bus. Why aren't you?"
I want them to have a competition to write one. This is what I will send them.
"Universalpsykopath is trying desperately not to catch the eye of the mentalist in the front row who's screaming abuse at the traffic lights for not changing fast enough. He's also trying to ignore the hooded youths in the back who are playing hip-hop as loud as their phones will go. Universalpsykopath isn't saying anything. He's sat right in the sweet spot between these twin dooms, and wishes he had bedsheets to cover his head with. Everyone knows you're invisible when you're under the bedsheets. Universalpsykopath is on this bus. He really, really wishes he could afford a car. The environment can take on more for the team, can't it?"

And since Bradford's main roads are completely inadequate for the volume of traffic on them, you WILL be sitting in jams for several hours a day unless you work shifts. Frankly I'd rather pay £16 a week and let someone else do the driving.
Also I'm nowhere near fit enough to cycle up several miles of 1-in-4 hills every morning.

These days i live in Bristol a "First" bus to town is £2.50 each way. £5 x 5 means its cheaper for me to go to work on a small motorbike.
I dont have to wait for buses either and i get free parking at work. I can also insure and tax my bike cheaper than using the bus all year round.
