How do you know that I don't have any connection with the bus industry?

All the research shows that the provision of concessionary bus passes is the best and cheapest way of providing social care. Without them many, many elderly and disabled people would simply fester in their home thus adding to the cost of social care.

I agree that there is some abuse of this scheme but nowhere near as much as you are suggesting. The solution is to greatly increase the number of revenue teams on buses, trams and local trains as exists in most continental countries.

Currently, the major (privatised) bus operators are warning that unless they receive large additional (taxpayer) subsidies in the near future there will be severe cuts to services on a par with those last seen in 1986. In essence Stagecoach etc, are saying give us subsidies so that we can pay a dividend to our shareholders. How do reconcile this threat with with your opposition to franchising?
