When the car is cheaper than the public transport

Well, most of you know that now I have my car here in the uk, since I have it with me I have been using it to go to work, shopping, traveling a little bit around Ipswich,…
But let’s center on the main use that I give to my car, which is going to work everyday. Before having my bike and going riding as I do when the weather is convenient (I mean when it doesn’t rain) I used to go by bus to my work place, which is next to Ipswich. You can take 2 busses to go there, super route 66 and 66B (only in pick time). Apart from the fact that it is overcrowded, the 66 takes arouund 35 min to go there and a single ticket is 2,40 pounds where as the day ticket is 4,50 pounds and the weekly is 15 pounds, that makes you a mean of 60 pounds per month because it is better to get this kind of ticket rather than the monthly. Apparently 60 pounds for public transport is not that bad, but if you take into account that that ticket is only for one of the companies that is operating in Ipswich only, despite of being the biggest one, the ticket is quite expensive on my view.
On the other hand If we compare this with a car, that takes you from dor to dor about 10 min, because here we don’t have traffic jams due that this is not a big city as London, Madrid,… You have to pay a mean of 35 – 40 pounds in petrol per tank and with one tank you have enought to go from dor to dor the hole month and you are free to go anywhere anytime, not having to wait the queue in the street with the british weather.
I honestly think that is woth to go by car being this cheaper and faster.
My question is… Why the public transport is as expesive in the UK? If they claim that we have to be “green” and not pollute the atmosphere with our cars, why don’t they do something in this aspect to try to call people to the public transport?
All of this not entering in the discussion that if the petrol is cheapper why the price of the ticket is still rising?
I have to say that I still will go either by car or by bike, but I will try to avoid as much as I can the bus service in Ipswich.

Flickr was born again

It’s being time since I uploaded my last photo into flickr but after buy a pro account a couple of months ago and having done so many photos, finally I and feeding my account again with new photos.

Yesterday I started with 2 new sets.

• Porto, where I have uploaded some photos that I didn’t put on facebook due that I think that this 2 platforms are for different purposes.

• The second one is Oslo, this time in winter all snowy and white. I know that summer ones are not either there, but time to time I have a delay in this aspect that.

Apart from that, now that I have the uploader tool installed in my notebook it is going to be easier to upload photos directly from my computer to the gallery, due that it allows you to create sets, add tags, remove them… So it makes our lives easier on the managenment . I will be uploading photos untill I stay up to date. However, as I have been traveling quite a lot in the last few months I have to say that it will take long to finish that work.

Just to finish I want to invite you to have a look to the gallery and feel free to criticise the work done to imporove more and more my photography.
