I SEE our former Safety Camera Partnership's publicity manager is now about to wreak havoc on our city's commuters, visitors and people.

Just what does a publicity manager know about urban transport systems? From "Delight at ideas to unclog our roads" (Worcester News, Wednesday, June 22) the answer would appear to be nothing.

Park-and-ride doesn't work simply because if everybody turned up to park their cars at the same time (as they would if they were going to work) it would take literally hours to transport those people to town via bus. Do the maths and idiocy now become transparent? And with Perdiswell losing £250,000 a year, wouldn't eight park-and-ride sites confront Worcester's council taxpayers with a bill of £2m a year in losses?

Does Ms Mead have any idea of the logistics involved in public transport carrying the half a million people who currently travel around our city each day by car? And as regards "workers" getting to their jobs by bus, how many buses would you need, during the rush hour, to carry Worcester's "60,000" workers?

And how are Worcester's tens of thousands of school children, students, and undergraduates to travel? The bureaucratic crackpots of the Worcester Alliance haven't thought of that have they?

Train operators are putting fares up, to drive rush hour passengers away. It is forecast that rail passenger numbers will increase by 280 million passengers a year, because of "congestion charging." How's rail going to cope with that?

N TAYLOR,

Worcester.
