[QUOTE="King Arthur, post: 528298, member: 31673"] I really don't understand the love for railways. With the exception of mass transit systems like the London underground etc railways are inherently expensive and always need subsidy to be able to compete with air and road transport. Even with massive subsidy for railways and huge taxes on road vehicles it's quite clear that people prefer cars. Instead of 'punishing' road transport with taxes, why not just let each transport system have a level playing field and not interfere by imposing all the 'stealth' taxes. I'm not against taxation, many public services have to be paid for, but I don't like social engineering. We're supposed to be a free society after all. [/QUOTE]
