Well there's another comment; I spent last week in Barcelona and the whole of the time there I used public transport (one taxi I think)
It cost me about £1 per journey anywhere on the metro network; in Manchester a similar journey would be £2+
A 180 mile train journey cost £6 and was perfectly on time and smooth. Last time I got a train in the UK that far it was running 30mins late and cost closer to £60.
