From Ian Glendinning, Vienna, Austria
Rosemary Sharples feels that public transport doesn’t go everywhere and doesn’t allow for the user’s choice of time, route or travel companions, and says the most flexible form of public transport, a taxi, is the most expensive. But look at Vienna, where public transport does indeed go everywhere and is very frequent, including late into the night(Letters, 6 September). The cost of an annual season ticket for unlimited travel is currently €365, so €1 per day!
