Transport dilemma

We must believe Finance Secretary John Swinney when he says that the Scottish government "will continue to invest in infrastructure that tackles congestion . . . reduces journey times" and "encourages people out of their cars". It is just that it has a very funny way of showing this when one of its first acts was to cut the cost of commuting to Edinburgh from Fife by car by £5 a week at a time when the cost of making the same journey by public transport is rising.
