Oh give it a rest!!! We have an excellent bus service, with a decent quality of bus!!! Not some 'chug along hope we make it there' with a driver who looks like he just folded up his caboard box away! If you want cheap quality bus service fine, but I for one, am glad of a decent one! £10 a week I pay, and I use the bus up to 10 times a week, more if I can get home in my break, thats a good deal for me at 70p a trip!!!! London have Oyster cards, we have smart cards..! We have a good service, if you don\'t have or want a car and all the problems and expence that go with it, the bus is your better option. I am very glad of it!
