So it seems yet again I am writing about British transport. I’m such a patriot, but it does need some praise. Living in Ojai, California, there is no real public transport. It’s a shame really I thought Arny, (Arnold Schwarzenegger) really was trying to make a change to the environment yet California still does not have a sufficient public transport system. I admit the carpool is a clever invention to cut emissions, except nowadays it often seems just as busy as the regular lanes. Everyone still rides around in their fuel guzzling machines, unaware how much pollution they are creating.
A simple bus, train and tube system needs to be created. Why not stop putting taxes into nuclear weapons and war, and help towards a healthier planet rather than destroying it.
I believe the United Kingdom is a great role model when it comes to public transport. I admit we are not completely there in terms of “going green” but we are making a real effort. I appreciate it’s a lot harder to achieve on a larger scale, but surely that means there should be more motivation to make a change?
The new Route Master bus is an inspiration. It is fuel efficient, quiet and has a platform offering passengers an easy way to get on and off. If this revolutionary technology doesn’t inspire you I believe it’s great exterior will. It smooth contours and glossy red surface is beautiful. It’s modern, contemporary, and a cheap way to travel everywhere. The beauty of public transport is it helps to cut gas emissions, as well as giving teens an easy way to travel.
I think it’s about time California took a leaf out of the British’s book and adopt this great tradition. Why not create an excellent bus line to transport citizens everywhere?
