Bloody north shore gets all the bendy busses :evil:.
The average cow in the EU earns over US$2.50 per day in government subsidies.
More than 2.8 billion people in the world in absolute poverty live on less than this a day.

Yeah, but thats our ONLY method of transport. And those things are full to standing, even though there is a bus every 2 minutes in peak hour... Not all the peak hour buses are bendys (1 in 10), but all buses are full to standing, except for the L78, E78, and 178, and thats 'cause they start later, and go the long way.

I bike, ride the train, and then the bus to school every day.

I work for a Express, Freight and Logistics company. So, yes I do transport related work.
I started in the Office in 1996, where I had to do the Export from Switzerland. Later when I changed to Ireland, I moved more towards the IT side and now I'm in Brussels and very much into Software Specification and testing etc. So i have moved avay a bit from the real transportation business, but still work for the same company, so I still regard myself as a Freight Forwarder, even though it is not true in its whole sense.

Sounds interesting... and a bit more estetical than pure transports/logistics.


Btw, learnt earlier in week that 1/4 of all polution generated by transports came from flights. These stats include transports by/of Swedish people in Sweden and in the rest of the world.

If you fly to England you'll affect the environment as much as your car would do in a half year (avagere car).

Thats pretty much.

Hmmmm, indeed. Luckily electric trains are quite clean, but it depends on how the electricity is generated...
