Thread Name: Folklore: UK Charge per mile = end of Fests?
Subject: RE: Folklore: UK Charge per mile = end of Fests?
Nothing to elighten, Big Mick - you are exactly right. There are talking of charging per mile and on the major highways at peak times a figure of roughly $2 per mile has been bandied about. Apparently this will be good for the economy. Myself, I can't see how large numbers of people being unable to afford to get to work achieves that. There is no suitable public transport route to where my wife and I work and out jobs are roughly 50 miles apart ...
