From Rosemary Sharples, Sydney, Australia
It is a myth that public transport is the answer to traffic woes. Public transport doesn’t go everywhere. It doesn’t allow for the user’s choice of time, route or travel companions, and the most flexible form of public transport, taxis, is also the most expensive, so public transport isn’t necessarily accessible to everyone. It has a place, for example in rush hour, but it isn’t a panacea by any means(Letters, 14 June).
