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.

Nonsense.

well they haven't fixed it in 5 years,

so ISTM that it must be deliberate choice not to.
