As the bus network requires £400m subsidy a year (figure quoted by a
Mr Peter Hendy in a recent London Assembly session) I struggle with
the concept of TfL making "millions of pounds *extra* profit".

I would also be grateful if you could point to the data that underpins
your "interesting" [1] statement. You also need to be careful with
words like "scam" which suggests deliberate intent to rip people off.

however not fixing the OSI "bug" does seem to be deliberate.
