Another gem from the odious Peter Turtill posted in another place.

Ipswich has a good fleet on buses but the whole idea of buses is so out
of date. The whole transport policy in swich should be altered. The bus
fleet should be sold off and replaces with wheelchair accessible
vehicles about the size of a car. They should also double up as taxis so
the drivers can work and pick up anywhere. The public should get used to
the idea of sharing a cab with whoever is already in it or picked up
along the way. The cab/bus should have a continuous circular route
identical to the bus routes so anybody could get to town and back
cheaply. The huge buses that so often slow the traffic down can go
elsewhere and the drivers can drive cabs/buses. I have seen this system
work overseas with no problems at all.

Let me try and understand his thinking. He wants to replace buses that
carry, what 40/50 passengers per vehicle with cars that carry 3 /4
passengers? WOW! think of the congestion that will cause.

Do the maths, Peter Turtill wants to replace buses and shunt 10 or more
vehicles per bus onto our roads. Is he bonkers or just a sad delusional
benefit claimant with a penchant for suing deaf and blind people?

No, don't answer  that we already know his track record of getting
stuffed with a "Contempt of Court Order", and a whopping £1grand costs
for yet another failed court appearance.

Note his claim to "have seen this system work overseas...". Was this in
Thailand where he shagged 13,14 and 15 year old children? (Google for
this little gem folks).

Of course Peter Turtill has not thought this out (no surprise there)
because imagine a Saturday night when the denizens of Ipswich are pissed
out of their tiny brains, decide to hop into one of Peter Turtill's
suggested vehicles and a lone female is already onboard. I will leave
this little gem to your imagination but you can bet Peter Turtill has
already got a "hard on" at the thought.

Oops Sorry!  I forgot, Peter Turtill prefers 12, 13 or 15 year old
children for his sexual gratification.

What he has described is the exact same system that's operated by the black 
taxi's in Belfast. They drive set routes, normally the same routes as the 
busses, and they have th ebenefit that you can flag them down anywhere, not 
just at bus stops. You pay at the end of your journey, and you just tap the 
driver on the shoulder when you want off. You share the cab with whoever 
happens to be going your way, and you often get engaged in some interesting 
conversations with people you would normally just walk past and ignore. It's 
very sociable.

However, Turtil has, as usual failed to consider one very important detail. 
Something pivotal to the success or failure of such a scheme.

The system operated in Belfast doesn't replace the bus service.
It operates ALONGSIDE the bus service.
It could never replace the bus service. Can you imagine how many black cabs 
would be required to replace a fleet of busses and keep the same amount of 
seats available on all routes? It would be astronomical, and an ecological 
disaster.

A bus can carry quite a bit more than cabs. And you'd get a lot more
congestion as has already been pointed out, along with much higher
fuel burning (10 - 15 engines versus one) plus the expense.
One bus driver wages plus running costs of the bus is a hell of a lot
less than the wages for minimum of 10 taxi drivers. So journey prices
would have to go up.

Belfast system is good, means don't have to struggle to a bus stop and
can be quicker than a bus. Or can choose to catch the bus.
I've had some great conversations on the bus too - with people in
front, behind and opposite. Get to know some of the regulars too.  :)
One of which is my missus once a week catching the same bus as me.

Yeah, but to be fair, you probably chatted with her over breakfast, and on 
the stroll down to the bus stop too ;-)
Sorry, being silly. But I 100% agree with you.

Well, yes.
But also chat to people who don't get on at my stop even.
You see some of the same faces every day, sit next to some of them
every once in a while, you can ignore them or become friendly.

It's one of the things I loved most when I worked in Belfast. I had a train 
ride from Carrickfergus into York St station (no longer there), then a bus 
ride into the city centre.
I would regularly sit chatting to the same people every morning. People I 
would never have known if I wasn't a regular commuter at the same time each 
day. I made some very good friends that way.
Public transport is an incredibly sociable way to travel if you're that way 
inclined.
It's just a shame that there's absolutely zero public transport services 
here where I live now in the arsehole of nowhere.

You're all wrong. They should just re-open the Ipswich Tube.

Now surely you folk have far less boring subjects to think/talk about than 
the regular miscreant.  Just think how you`re feeding the ego of someone who 
loves getting his name in print, no matter what the reason.  Disappoint 
him - don`t MENTION him - please!

It's been tried but no-one wants to post about regional issues in case 
the, "person who's name we shall not utter" threatens to sue them.

I gave up after nil responses and now watch the grass grow, it's more 
interesting than here.

This Peter Turtill bloke is obviously a twat, so why waste time
talking about him and his stupid ideas?

  Just ignore the stupid sod.  There are idiots in every town and
every village, but the real twits are those who waste their time
talking to them, or possibly even talking about them.  Oh,
errrrr........that includes me.  I'd better shut up now and get on
with some work.

That`s currently true, but there must me millions of local subjects that 
"Voldemort" won`t remark on - or if he`s been killfiled, you won`t see 
anyway - unless someone`s daft enough to reply to him.  Works for me! ;-)

I had no idea who "Voldemort" was - I have had to look up.
Looks like a relative of Gollum ;-) - very apt.

I think that your idea is a good one - people should not use the "name
which kills the threads".

Enough of that - any plans for Christmas anyone?

Read the red top papers, according to them Christmas is cancelled in 
case we offend the ethnic religions. Personally, if they don't like what 
we celebrate or do in this country, they can bugger off to a place more 
to their liking. Of course, the complainers will lose out on our 
generous benefit system.

What a terrifying thought (for you I mean). I am being realistic about 
the state this country is in because of ethnic minority groups demands. 
Look at those damn great big mosques they are building in the East End 
of London. Or 14 mosques in Luton alone!

Can you imagine the reaction if we went over to some of these Muslim 
countries and demanded we build our own Christian Cathedrals? Or go to 
Saudi Arabia and say, sod your laws we are opening a Strip Club serving 
alcohol 24/7 ?

Sometimes I am glad to be on my way out of this rotten world, I would 
hate to be in my 20's with a dead-end job and stuck in this country for 
life. The problem now is, if you voice these opinions there's always 
some brain dead jobsworth who comes along and accuses you of being 
racist.

I`ll meet you at thr Pearly Gates (or the door to the incinerator!)  Not TOO 
soon, though!  We were only saying the other day that we`re glad we`re on 
the way out and not just starting.  It`s not being racist, it`s pure 
common-sense.  You expect visitors to this country to make some effort to 
conform, or at least not try to force-feed us with their beliefs!

Bring back Enoch!

I`m not Conservative - fancy having that prat Cameron as PM!  To be quite 
honest I don`t have much time for any of them!
