Cheap fares?

clipped from www.taxpayersalliance.com New Research: Departmental use of Taxis and Chauffeured Cars The business of Government, just like any other, often takes people out of the office. Whether for a meeting or an event, civil servants and ministers frequently have to travel, and sometimes a taxi or chauffeured car is the most appropriate way. 19 (of the 20) Whitehall departments spent more than £8 million on taxis and hired car services between them, averaging over £420,000 per department. “Current spending on taxis and chauffeured cars is excessive. When ordinary businesses are trying to save money by getting employees to take the bus, it is only fair that public officials do the same. Some taxi rides on the taxpayers’ pound are unavoidable, but too much is being spent on the luxury of convenience while cheaper options are available.”

Not in Blackpool? Councillor Ian Fowler has to travel first class by train because he cannot tell any interloper to get out of his seat. Something fishy about this former sailor?
