Why is the reason for keeping the submitter secret? What sort of
entity would that be?

Someone who didn't want to get all the flak from the users and supporters.

Buried in the .pdf "As London’s transport authority we have
a clear mandate and requirement to provide Londoner’s with a safe,
integrated, accessible, clean, efficient and economic transport service.
Operating and marketing a tourist bus is outside our mandate."

They also mention that the subsidy per passenger on the 15H is £9.00 as
against £0.23 on the 15.

No matter what we think, this last is probably the real reason, all the
rest is window dressing.
