I pay £2 to travel 6 miles from my home near Birtley to Newcastle city centre, and get to sit (if I'm lucky) in a seat that would barely have enough leg room for a 6 year old, let alone a big fat bastard like me, and get to share the bus with annoying chavs and smelly old fat women.

Also, there is 2 buses an hour, and thats if they turn up.

I'll stick to me car, thank ya
