All we are arguing about is the amount of subsidy. Or, more specifically, where the subsidy comes from. In the absence of most tourists and many commuters, fare revenues won't come close to meeting operating costs. |

They need to be realistic and scale back the tube services until ridership goes up again. From my personal experience however the buses are as crowded as they're allowed to be. Odd how the snowflakes seem to be scared of trains but not buses. |
