None of that really addresses the problem. Why are we forced to travel everywhere? I'd rather work and shop close to home, be able to walk or cycle to the things I want to do. Actually live in a community rather than a car park.
Good questions! I will give a couope of answers from my experience.
I worked at McLaren. The HQ is out on the common, a couple of miles out from Woking town centre. There are car parks provided.
But crucially a regular minibus shuttle from the station. Travelling from central London I would take a Tube to Waterloo, then train to Woking and the shuttle bus.
Working later at Viglen. Again the factory is about three miles from Radlett train station.
But I drove every day, a grind round the M25 and the North circular.
Why? No minubus shuttle. The bus service was abysmal - a bus at 9am and the next one at 10 am or something like that.
I can't afford two taxis a day. aha you say - use a bike. Well no, sorry. It is up the A1 on a big hill. And I dont want to change my clothes.
During that time also the Thameslink was bypassing London Bridge and I had to go via Blackfriars - which does not join up with the Jubilee Line.
So to be constructive:
Integrated public transport, as in Switzerland. You should expect to arrive at a rail station and a bus will be there to take you to your final destination.
Also why not car parks on the outskirts of cities? Cars are pretty convenient for long distances, and for lugging around the things you need for business.
Looking at London - why not park at the O2 and complete the final leg of journeys to home via the Tube?
The reason why - high costs for overnight parking and the chance of theft/vandalism on your car.
