Drives Me Crazy

Dear First, Arriva and other Bus companies operating in the area.

I would like to take this opportunity to publically thank you and your greed for ensuring I will never have the need to catch the bus to work ever again. By making the cost of a journey from Bolton Town Centre to the stop nearest to my home off Ainsworth Lane the same as a private taxi (£2) means i shall no longer have to endure screaming children, flatulent pensioners or teenagers playing the sound of The Lesser Tailed Screaming Lizard Pigeon off their mobile phones. Instead I can now relax in the comfort of a 5 door Mondeo driven erratically by a man that either speaks very little English, smells faintly of cheese and onion pasties or, in some cases, both.

Lets hope that people don’t start talking to each other when using public transport otherwise they may decided to all ‘chip in’ for a taxi and pay just 50pence each to get to their destination, a full 30pence LESS than the concessionary fare. Where would the bus services be then?

Don’t worry though, i’m sure people will continue to be non-the-wiser. Let’s just hope that some fellow hell-bent on eventually running the country doesn’t write in to the local paper to point it out.

Hugs and kisses

Les
