Public transport rant

For various reasons it makes sense to me to normally commute to work by car which us about 30 miles round trip. Frequently in the Spring and Summer I have tried to commute or part commute by bike. Occassionally like today I need to use public transport. Tonight the trains are all running late or not at all having bought a one way ticket. So now on the bus from Bradford Interchange to Halifax then onwards hopefully. It's more expensive by bus than train. I will be in a car tomorrow. Just bad luck? Probably.
