It's very noticeable that throughout this thread there are plenty of
people posting about how awful transport staff are and how the
business is a monopoly, but only who is actually willing to justify
his statements - and he's not one of the people who's claiming poor
staff. All the rest either go quiet or start stonewalling when their
views are challenged.

Strange that. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact they know
they're talking ********?

Two points in reply
1) Public transport staff I meet on my travels are very nearly all fine to
deal with. The ones who are difficult are a very small minority and we can
all have the odd bad day.
2) Trains do have effective monopolies. For example train is the only public
transport to Manchester from my town unless I want to use a succession of
local buses
