Moderator mervin Posted February 28, 2007 Moderator Posted February 28, 2007 petition to get cheaper fuel for people in areas that have no public transport, the guy that has started it is a friend of mine, came from the Doncaster Area now living in devon, and is a biker these are his words Government policy cut rail services in rural areas to save money. Bus services were liberalised so that companies cherry-picked the best routes and dropped the poor payers. Rural dwellers should be compensated by discounting road fuel as cars are the only transport many of us have. A smart card used to pay at the pumps would ensure that only those who qualified got the discount. This system is used in N. Italy based on post code. http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/notrainsnobuses/ mervin
