I'd prefer the cheaper one asides from the sustainability side (travelling a long way). In the UK there is some odd thing the more expensive something is the better quality. That's bull for a start!
In my simple head, if I had a business i'd make it as cheap as possible; then more people would use it in turn making more profit! Surly this is simple business sense? But not its as much profit as quickly as possible is if fails stuff the consumer and works money is first! Sad really I pitty these poor deluded people, there in for a sad life.
I've often wondered about setting up public transport in the UK. Currently it is extortionate for obviously reasons the want people but buy expensive petrol I get that. When I have time i'm going to research it and find out just how much it can be done for, then who's know the monkey bus might become a reality haha 💯🐒
