SIR - Hasn't Jennifer Bellamy (T&A, August 10) ever thought that an increasing number of car owners means that they want to travel exactly where they want to go, without having to change buses once or twice, no matter how regular public transport runs from A to B?
These owners, through road tax, insurance premium tax, vat and tax on petrol, pay huge sums of money into the nation's coffers and naturally expect better than just tinkering at the edges as she puts it.
Face up to it, public transport can never fulfil a car owner's needs, no matter how it is improved. Investment in roads for all road users is essential. Cars have boots, which obviates lugging belongings from one bus to another.
People pay a lot of money to use them not just to hop on to a bus.
