Doesn't matter for a big chunk of society here. They only see that it came with costs and keep forgetting that all the dirty car travel received a ton of money

Doesn't matter for a big chunk of society here. They only see that it came with costs and keep forgetting that all the dirty car travel received a ton of money and attention while public transport was kept behind dirty socks in the basement.
Seems unlikely that we'll follow that path in the near future. I mean it is something society would benefit from...

- mytailorisrich 4y agoIt was also a time of record petrol prices, I believe, so people may have looked at ways to cut spending. Anyway, my take is that it is not realistic or sustainable to have the State subsidise people's daily activities and this scheme was 'generous' to the point of being a PR stunt (the aim being to show how the government was helping with the cost of living). CO2 emissions should be cut systemically and sustainably.
