No one in the UK is going to give up their car so long as it is -

1) cheaper
2) simpler
3) easier

- than using public transport. The saddest thing is that the more we come to rely on the car the more industry develops to cater for car uses. It's a negative spiral. This is why tescos are located out-of-town, why all the biggest chains have massive acres of parking spaces and also why our aged population have to pay more for food as they cannot easily travel to cheaper outlets.
