Many drivers love their cars for the independence it gives them. And security - there's no doubt since I haven't had a car I do not go out in the evening on my own anymore. Generally I'm impressed with the local train service esp c2c. The bus system would have to be a lot more effective and faster if it was to persuade a car driver to swap. It can take a journey 3 x as long by bus. Unless it was possible to have bus lanes. Also many people could not do their job without a car, especially carers, who aren't even paid for & during their journeys.
