Perhaps I'm missing something, but surely if the route is overflowing

Or are London bus fares really so low that even a fully-loaded bus does
not cover its own running costs?

London's public transport system always seems to be far too expensive to
get more people off the roads and onto buses and trains.

Compared with other urban transit systems that I utilize, London's
fares seem unreal. Journeys cost many times their equivalent in say
Atlanta, Louisville, or Los Angeles.

London's costs, including transit fares, are a factor in making London
and unattractive metropolis in which to do business.
