10 Years ago I had a good bus service and the cost was about right then the rot set in. The bus fare went up and up and up, then another company took over and then another and another until what we got to day. And what I got is a total crap service, they can not run on time if they tried and if you complain they kick you off the bus and tell you to write a letter to the company which I have done.
The response was we're look in to it which they never will or should I say never did in the first place. Getting a cab around here is like playing a lone shark back his interest. Train service is poor and the cost is out of this world. Labour keeps banging on about pouring money in to public transport but there is no evidence around here. This country is finished and who ever is in power knows it, Inflation around the 5% mark and yet I got bills 10% higher and why? Because the Government & the Bank of England are lying to us about the real situation.

I'm actually kind of sad to see long-haul trucking suffering because it means we can charge ridiculous fees and provide totally inadequate service. I had one guy tell me "you guys are worse than the government" just a few weeks ago. His steel mill had to shut down for two days because we didn't bring his steel on time. Then we charged him for "yard storage" of his cars. Does that seem right to you? We're an industry that is in desperate need of some competition, but I work there anyways because it pays well.

As far as charging extra fees, well, it's all part of gaining more efficiency IMO. When I was solo driving, a consignee or shipper had 4 hours to get me on the dock or my company started charging for the delay. Amazing how some customers sorted out their "have the goods on the dock when the truck get here" problems... There's only "X number of trucks or RR cars", gotta keep them moving to make $$$... Quote:
