What Public Transport Improvements?
Its not only airlines that levy take it or leave it surcharges.
Park your car in Long-stay at Gatwick or Stansted, and 30p gets added to the total bill as a contribution towards public transport improvements.
I don’t have a problem with signing up for better public transport to and from airports.
If the current public transport options weren’t so expensive, inconvenient and (in the case of the Stansted flyer) unreliable I wouldn’t be taking the car in the first place.
30p is not a lot of money – but they have been making this charge for some time, so what are (where are?) these “public transport improvements” that we have all been paying for?
