I REALLY feel for John Davies (‘‘Fix the meters or stop fining us’’ Letters 18/1) and his parking problems in Newcastle’s East End.
A quick look at the Newcastle bus route maps indicates at least seven bus services in or not far from his suburb.
I don't know how much he paid for his parking, but probably a lot more than the fares.
A nice relaxing bus ride through the suburbs is a guaranteed method of reducing the stress and indigestion caused by worrying about a parking fine.
A bonus is getting to look at places you haven’t seen or been to before.
John O’Brien, Merewether
