Perhaps it's because I like being in control, or because I don't really like other people, but I spend a lot of time working out how to avoid public transport.

It's silly because my commute along Scotland's most congested stretch of motorway runs parallel to a fast, frequent and reliable – though notably expensive – train line.
That hasn't stopped me trying to find commuting nirvana: cars, bicycles and even a moped have been tested to cover my 15-mile commute into the city centre. Cars have their obvious disadvantages in rush-hour traffic. The moped scythed through traffic, but my third crash in as many months ended that love affair.
