Salik Sucks
Yep, but you can afford to pay it. Spare a thought for the people that earn less than 2000 a month with no public transport alternative.
The other problem is all the other routes are car parks so woe betide you if you have to go anywhere else. A 30 min journey took me 1:15 today and I wasn't trying to avoid Salik, in fact I was trying to get on to SZR.
