They are now consulting with bus operators on the routes he travels.

why are they only bothering to fix the problem on the route
he uses.

shouldn't they be fixing it *everywhere*

Probably for the same reason that bus fare increases are being used to

make
up the revenue loss from the Congestion Zone instead of the CZ paying for
better and cheaper public transport.

Taxation in all its guises is the *only* priority for HMG and its local
cohorts. Obviously giving access to disabled people is time consuming,

time
costs money, etc. and round we go again in the Circle Game!!


But AIUI the cost of the equipment in the buses has been spent.
What was missing was some common sense by the Bus operator
to actually decide to instruct their drivers to use it.
