Default 500m pounds loss for L.U

That ticket prices should rise until they don't make a loss?


L.U. should look at how to cut costs. As they charge higher prices
than nearly any other mass city transit system in the world. But
provide one of the worst services in the world.
I don't know how. Because I don't know the company.


Then it's a stupid thing to say, because you have no idea at all about
how it would be done, the effects it would have or even whether it
would be possible.

Maybe just have two idle station assistants hanging round the
ticket gates doing nothing instead of the usual three?


The language you use to describe anything about the tube is pretty
biased towards making it look bad. No doubt if there were only two
you'd be complaining instead that stations are understaffed and unable
to cope with demand for tickets.
