The turnaround of the bus network in London in recent years has been a
real achievement, with ridership on the up and up. I genuinely hope
that Boris & Co realise this, and don't go about ballsing it all up.
Not least because, in recessionville London, bus ridership is holding
steady if not increasing. But more than that - it's a success story
that doesn't need to be ruined.

What has the London ridership growth cost in terms of public money? I
sometimes compare the London success with the success over the last decade
in growing ridership in the select club of Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford and
York. By comparison with London barely any public money has been spent in
those cities.
