Title: Wot no cars...
Post by: eye30 on August 28, 2012, 20:38:36
An average of just 10 motorists a day are using a £1.3m car park built near Bristol, a council has admitted.

The facility, intended as a park-and-ride, opened in June 2011 but will not get a bus service until 2015.

South Gloucestershire Council said it was used by only 139 motorists in its first three months

You know what......

The car park has almost 100% empty spaces but I'll give you evens that when the driver returns to their car, one in photo, there will be another parked right next to it.   :lol: :lol:

What use is a 'park and ride' if you can park but not ride?  :Dunno:
