When overcrowded buses replace train services, they should be free of charge. It's nowhere near the same quality of service, and charging for it is kind of rude. If it's free, it encourages train operators to do everything they can to avoid replacement bus situations.

What your government needs to do is redirect huge swathes of public transport funding into Roads of Dubious Significance with no allowance for bikes or pedestrians in the budget. Like our enlightened coalition is doing #FacePalm.
T'imagines, t'es l'une des voix starifiées de l'émission d'actualité de la radio phare du service public @franceinter

Tori Whanau's column in this weekend's Sunday Star-Times talked about introducing water meters and charging households for water.
Have we learned nothing from the privatisation of the publicly-funded electricity network?

Why the biscuit tax leaves a bad taste in the mouth
Earlier this year, two distinguished gentlemen, Judge Hyde and his adviser Julian Stafford, sampled a mineral-enriched flapjack — alas, a year past its sell-by date — and pondered its qualities. (Flapjacks are slabs of oats stuck together with a glue made of butter, sugar and syrup.) The question: was this unconventional flapj
A comprehensive review of the tax system made a series to recommendations intended to raise revenue and stop the tax burden falling hardest on wage and salary earners. While encouraging people with money to move it into economically productive places, instead of bidding up the value of real estate.
