United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

It probably means having more buses and trains avaliable to use (by building more maintenance facilities and larger stations for interchange). As having one come every 4h is a bit rubbish and would put anyone off.
I've been to places in Wales where it's a bus out in the morning and one back home in the evening.
People can't rely on buses that run like this would you risk getting a bus out somewhere if the only return bus might get cancelled?
Not on your nelly! Just the chance of missing it would be enough to put me off.
Public transport needs to be cheep, reliable, and often to work. You can get away with any two of these at a push. Public transport works in London because you know no matter when (within reason) you turn up another bus/train/tube will be there with 15mins.
That's it, they need to be as regular as... buses.
If I wander down to the bus stop or train station I don't really have to know the times as something will be along shortly.
