So my first week of uni is over, its been a good experience so far. Meeting new friends, course tutors, being told the things we are going to do this year and then thinking ‘oh christ how am I going to do that’. All is well, apart from one thing. The price of the bus, £6.90 for a return ticket to Bedford? It’s 11 miles away! And the bus takes 3 times as long a car.
So I did some calculations, if I had a car it would cost me £2.20 worth of petrol for a return trip to Bedford. £2.20! That’s £4.70 less than the bus and the bus is slow, sometimes smells and full of people you really wouldn’t want to talk to. Seriously, the scummiest looking people get on my bus on the way to Bedford.
And then it dawned on me, this is why people take the car.
