So Much For Low Inflation
In my experience yesterday, the cost of public transport has gone up by one seventh in 28 days.
We need a national network of public transport free at the point of use, centred on publicly owned railways.
If it were taxpayer funded, then the cost to the taxpayer would have to go up with inflation, and so would taxes. So you'd still end up paying for it.
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd even so, that would be quite an improvement on an increase of whatever percentage one seventh is over the course of a month.
