    Are you mad? It’s not that you need service 6 days a week it’s that you need access to the service 6 days a week.

      They’re only asking a question, no need to call them "mad’ for that. You could have explained your point without that.

        It’s like asking why they run trains every day because you personally don’t use the train any day other than on Wednesdays. It smacks of main character syndrome.

          No.

          It would be like asking why do people need a train every ten minutes Vs half an hour on an otherwise quiet route when putting it on every ten minutes is costing way too much money.

          It smacks of main character syndrome.

          I’m sorry, but is it not possible to ask a simple question without people resorting to insults. Even if they’re wrong in their assumptions you could have just said that rather than calling them “mad”.

          I just don’t understand why you feel the need to be aggressive and name calling about it 🤷.

            “Too much money” is subjective. A train running every 10 minutes means it is convenient for everyone because if they are a couple minutes late they can catch the next one while every half hour means missing one is extremely inconvenient. Shared costs make convenience affordable for everyone.

              Then we should have trains every 30 seconds and postal deliveries twice a day seven days a week and everyone should share the cost of this?

                Do you know how much roads cost? We should just tear up 2/3 of roads to reduce maintenance costs just like with removing 2/3 of public transit since roads are too expensive. Roads aren’t even profitable!

                  Brittish rail actually did this in yhe 60s or 70s. Some guy rocked in looked at all the unprofitable local stations to improve efficency.

                  The results were the profitable stations lost revenue. Because people who jumped on the local station who nolonger could just drove all the way to the destination.

                  On topic I’d suspect something similar would happen eith royal mail because fuck trying to figure out if your package will get where its needed on time ehen you can just send it via courier a d take that out of the equation.

                  Wait how has a comment about trying not to be rude to someone online ended up in a pile on from you lot? At this point I don’t even know what you’re looking to get out of this. I’m sorry I’ve upset you so much.

                  Have a nice rest your day.

                    I was hoping you would realize how illogical your take on scheduling was, but clearly that isn’t going to happen.
