Getting back to the original question... Would it be worth sending a

How frequent are those services, and how many vehicles do they move per
trip? A bus-like service needs to move a busload of people every ten
minutes or whatever.

Rubbish. There are zillions of bus services that operate once an hour,
or even less often. They're mostly outside London.

Since we were talking about a service in London, that's of no relevance
whatsoever.

live on your knees." And years after he died, Marlon Brando played him
in a movie. So just think, if you unionize, Marlon Brando might play
YOU in a movie. Even though he's dead. -- ChrisV82
