Im not talking about muricaland either at least in Germany it is like that as well, and i expect it not to be much different in UK, outside the citys the public transport is a joke.
If you live outside the city, you don’t pay taxes in the city.
If you don’t pay taxes in the city, it means local taxpayers are paying for YOUR car to wear down roads, add to traffic congestion, make lots of noise and take up space wherever you park it.
This is why there are toll roads, parking fees, fuel taxes and other additional charges (in this case for noise and pollution) in cities.
So if poor people living outside the city REALLY can’t use public transit to get to the city (which I doubt tbh I’ve been all over Europe for work including suburbs and rural areas entirely by train and bus) then they just have to fucking pay for the extra space, pollution and damage they cause with their cars.
Cars don’t deserve special treatment so they can fuck up cities even more than they already do. Just look at American cities, they’re all roads and parking lots thanks to cars 😭

The public transport into London is pretty good
I’m in the countryside outside Berlin. The buses are okay. Even places in the middle of nowhere have buses.
