In particular, i suspect Ken believes that spend on bus travel as a
fraction of income is highest amongst the poorest people in London (which
seems plausible - the absolute expense is probably constant, so the poorer
you are, the greater the relative expense; also, better-off people are
more likely to use other modes), and thus that this is essentially a
progressive tax break; redistribution by the back door. Not that there's
anything wrong with that, of course!


I consider there to be quite a lot wrong with the constant redistribution of
my money to people that I despise, and who probably aren't too keen on me
either, despite my constant subsidising them, the ****ing ungrateful
hypocrites. Something that every elected administration at every level has
seen fit to do, one way or another.
