Ha! Have you been anywhere apart from Glasgow and Edinburgh?!?
Everywhere else in Scotland we have terrible transport. Its either get yer own car or wait for hours for a bus (unless you travel on peak times, where you will only wait an hour). The one saving grace is, usually, now buses and trains run on time. In that we've had great improvements over the last 20 years.
