True cost my hairy arse

Mind you, if fuel tax and road tax are scrapped, the "true cost" of motorised public transport will be far less. Unfortunately it probably will not help for rail.

But I suppose we've got to discourage people from consuming petrol and oil, as we're running out of countries to steal oil from.
