Night tube on the cards again

In London those lower paid people simply cannot afford to use the tube - especially in the central area. They are therefore reliant on effective night bus and early morning service on regular routes to get them to / from their jobs. And that, to me, means the fares system is fundamentally broken, causing an absolutely pointless duplication of provision. I don't see the night tube being a "game changer" for them - except if TfL decide to greatly reduce or remove any parallel night bus routes. That's not *yet* on the cards but may emerge at some point once usage patterns have stabilised. I would rather hope it is - running half-empty night buses parallel to the Tube is an utter waste of money. And if it turns out they are not empty and the Tube is, that's a waste of money. There is absolutely no sense in any duplication at all at times of day when the Tube network is not going to be overcongested. It would simply be a waste of money. Night buses could simply connect people to the Tube on the evenings it runs. Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the @ to reply. |
