Fares changes for 2007
WoW...Those are quite some increases....Particularly the 33% Bus Cash
Fare.....
Its all well and good to talk of it as an incentive to promote Off Bus
Ticketing BUT when the Travelcard increases by RPI PLUS 2% one starts to
think....Hmmmmmm who will be gaining most from this....and the Travelling
Public aint among them.
Perhaps its to underline Peter Hendy`s dire warnings to other UK Cities
interested in emulating Londons supposed success at driving Public Transport
Usage upwards...Mr H DID say "If U aint prepared to Fund it,then don`t do
it" (or words to that effect).
Oh well...the Retail Motor Industry obviously has better lobbyists.... : )
