I disagree
The more people we have who think it's bad to drive and are happy to take the bus, the better.

As a motorist who does double the annual average mileage, I don't want every man and his dog clogging up the roads.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take a stand here.
I might not overly enjoy the bus, but why does taking it make me a lifeless hippy? I don't wish to drive, and even if I did, I can't afford it. This doesn't make me a hippy. Just because you've got an axe to grind with people who don't drive doesn't mean there's something wrong with them.

I have a license to drive
A car, a motorcycle with or without combination, to whatever cc capacity I feel like, a forklift truck, AND a 5 ton crane (short ton that is, y'know, heavier)
And I still like to ride the bus, it gets me where I'm going, no stress/hassle. I dont have to worry about carparks congestion (too much) and only once in the last 10 years have I had to swap busses because of ignorant people, 5 lads, pissed up to the eyeballs feigning oral sex in front of everyone. They had their car keys confiscated by the pub landlord, because they were so off their faces.
If it was you, then I'm sorry for what happened, no actually, every last one of you deserved it

I *love* driving.
Totally adore it. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than zipping along twisty A-roads.

However, driving in London is like an endurance test. It really is akin to Chinese water torture. The privilege of driving was costing me over 2000 quid a year and so, with reluctance, I sold my beautiful Alfa Romeo.

I haven't missed it. On the whole, my experience of London public transport has been marvellous and I'm now reading a couple of novels a week on the bus.

In London, unless your job expressly requires it, you're a mug if you own a car.
