Its fairly obvious its just a glorified fairground ride. It serves no useful
public transport purpose , its just a way to get a view of the thames.
Perhaps this is the best we can expect in new crossings since the beckton
road bridge across the thames was ditched.

I think you're likely right. This, of course, begs the question of why
my council tax is being spent subsidising a tourist attraction.
