AND you completely ignored the part where i said if fuel was a problem then buy a scooter and only pay 10 bucks per week.

No one has an excuse to complain until they have ABSOLUTELY no other option.

Unfortunately its not just remote areas, I live in the suburbs and public transport is pretty much useless for my wife. It takes her approx. 45 minutes to get to and from work, the same trip via public transport would be over 2 hours.

Some people can take advantage of public transport some people cant - the people that cant are going to complain about higher fuel costs - because they dont have any other option.
