Male to Female ratio on the Park and Ride

Bill-e

Has anyone noticed how nearly 90% of the people that use the park & ride are female?
Is it just me or what?
This morning there was 22 people on the ground floor of the bus and it was only myself and one other guy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.... I'd just like to know what the deal is with that?

Something to do with guys preferring to drive themselves to work rather than using public transport?

And that there are probably far more women working in the city centre than men I would assume. Shops and restaraunts generally have more female staff.

most men start at 8

90% chicks and they will all get very, very freaked out if a randomer starts trying to chat them up

it must be worse than being a kid in a toyshop with no money

Ah sure everyone know's it's only gay men that use Park and Ride, that's why it's called Park and RIDE.

Now that you mention it the other guy on the bus was quite the dandy...
I only park there cause my car is too nice to leave around the docks and my company are to cheap to pay the 3 grand for an office parking spot

Ya that's why the spaces in the P&R are so wide.

Ratio doesn't surprise me. Have you ever seen the numbers of cars with young male drivers on their own, driving to UCC and CIT? Park and Ride is too far away from where they want to go .

I've noticed that too. I think a lot of it is people who work in Department Stores (particularly at make up counters from overheard conversations) and also noticed that girls carpooling park there more than fellas.

it's really hard for the little boy racers to add body kits to a double decker they don't even own! Oh, perish the thought:eek:

Close their eyes and hope for the best! I once had a girlfriend, who when she approached a tight gap or any other traumatic obstacle would point the car in what she hoped was the right direction, close her eyes and only open them when she thought she was through. Freaked the bejesus outta me, so I dumped her, lol. I'm all for doing wierd stuff with yr g'f in a moving automobile, but that sorta thing is completely outta order!
