_Lynz_ Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I feel really positive now. Really happy. Me too, I really enjoy my job in manchester but if this had come in, I would've seriously had to re-think working here as the extra charge would've been to much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy for you. I could probably have worked around it most of the time, but not all the time, and would no doubt have been accidentally crossing it all the time, and refusing to do work in parts of Manchester.

Robert Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 thing is they won't ask next time, they will make some crap up about it being necessary for reducing this or that and it has to be done, it might not be the same way it was proposed now but it will come, glad it has been rejected for now though.

hogmaw Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The NO vote means there will be no money to invest in new public transport systems in Manchester. No investment means the system stays as it is ie rubbish. As the system is rubbish it means more people will drive. Which means more congestion. Here in London we have had the CC charge for a few years now and so we are used to it. When driving in the zone it is a LOT clearer and easier to get around. Most people have changed their habits, and they use public transport. The difference is that we have good public transport already, whereas it appears the people of Manchester don't.

carl0s Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Here's a radical idea. You want better public transport, pay higher fares. Why should the drivers pay to support the non drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
