Even with these extra 'taxes', it won't be.

All we are arguing about is the amount of subsidy.

Or, more specifically, where the subsidy comes from. In the absence of most
tourists and many commuters, fare revenues won't come close to meeting
operating costs.

They need to be realistic and scale back the tube services until ridership
goes up again. From my personal experience however the buses are as crowded
as they're allowed to be. Odd how the snowflakes seem to be scared of trains
but not buses.

Yes, I've been on buses lately carrying a lot more than the stated maximum.
