Correct, what I have done is to show why someone might make this observation and that it was not unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you have done is tried to provide evidence for your assertion that you claimed you didn't try to provide evidence for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medusa Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'd only shift from car to public transport if I had no other choice, because it would limit me in the number of things that I could achieve and places I could go, due to my mobility decreasing enormously over the last few years and the distance from the bus and tram stops to my home being enough to cause me problems getting back home again after a trip out on public transport.

altus Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 You can get a sweat on driving , all that gear changing is hard work you know. First gear. Inch forward a few metres. Brake. Neutral. Wait. First gear. Inch forward a few metres. Brake. Neutral. Wait. etc. Yep. I can see you'd get a limited amount of exercise from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaliRichard Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 What assertion have I made? Come off it. That someone might feel/be healthier for using public transport. You them claimed that this wasn't your position just that you were making a comment - a comment you claimed you hadn't tried to present evidence for despite the fact that you have provided evidence for it, several times. Let's try another route as you seem to be in denial about what you're actually doing. What is your position on the health benefits of using public transport?

Annie Bynnol Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I've already done this. I gave up my car almost 2 years ago due to rising fuel and upkeep costs and it was the best thing I've ever done. I catch the bus and tram to and from work now and much prefer it. It can be annoying but the amount of money I save and the fact that I'm now so much healthier outweighs any inconvenience My bold-not my assertion.
