Round here, even back in the 1980's travel was the same (bad) to London.
Pay a lot for very little.
Ditto the Cambs "busway" designed from the word go to be bike prohibitive in an area that bikes, even at the stop (arse end of investment) there is no bike cover (bike racks yes) ..not until the solar panels get put up, even then maybe not.
Public transport is not bike friendly full stop.

Seeing as this is the only place on this current renewables forum with a mention of the crap from the planning stage...
The latest failure within failures for the set up has just hit the BBC web pages..
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-c ... e-60648403
We have already had a protracted build, & court cases, deaths on the "safer" busway, repairs from before it opened till now..
& now they've come clean (it finally opened in 2011) that its so shonky all those many many tonnes of laid concrete slab has a further 87 million quids worth of defects & we are back in court with BAM NUTTALL again!
"The balance of probabilities being that the foundations would not meet the required lifespan of 40 years.."
(they ripped out the old rail track instead of reinstating it with a connecting station hub, bear in mind that where I used to see barn owls flying is now new housing as the land is being sold off & cambridge reaches further north towards the least serviced end of the track compared to the other bus hubs, in the meantime cambridge rail stations have expanded, to the end of the track from st ives.
A mess akin to planners walking dog muck through a house with white carpets.

Re: We (some of us anyway) are not alone...
Wales is top of the public transport.......
Cardiff bus station demolished in 2015.... New one was supposed to opened in 2017.
Now scheduled for end of 2022... well joined up thinking by our wonderful Welsh government.
A few years ago two of us wanted to go to a gig in Cardiff (live 25 miles away in cwmbran). As the finishing was likely to be around 11pm, there was no bus of train transport availible to get from Cardiff. I HAD to drive.
