UK public transport asset stripped to make way for death, pollution, stress..... and the profit that comes from a fixed market. Tearing up the Tracks.


UK public transport asset stripped to make way for death, pollution, stress..... and the profit that comes from a fixed market. Tearing up the Tracks.: "My thesis is that it is no accident that cars have taken over from public transport on both sides of the Atlantic.  There are powerul interests that want to destroy essential shared resources and massively increase our consumption of, and reliance on, oil. The social, financial and environmental costs of public transport infrastructure are tiny if compared to the total costs of maintaining a massive car stock and road infrastructure. So why is the car so prevalent. Social Engineering in my view. Read on for the evidence."
