james michael;
Where I live there are no freeways, tunnels, bus lanes, only patched up bitumin roads and my particular road is gravel. I'm lucky, some are dirt and impassable in the wet. (which we have not had the luxury of for some time).
For me to see a Specialist I have to drive a minimum 3 hours each way on roads that claim lives each year, but I pay the same if not more for fuel as you do. There is no public transport that require bus lanes.
I still pay the same tax on the family income as as those who benefit from City comforts and I am getting sick to death of people ramming more "stuff" down my throat that I don't need, will probably never use and has no benefit to me.
Why don't you buy a database and do a mail out. Sorry I forgot, this is not a commercial thing is it. Perhaps the people who will benefit most from your arguements should offer you a job or a promotion or something.
