| Comment | They aren’t really well subsidised at all. Over the years subsidies for transport operators have been obliterated.
BSOG provides a rebate on about 80% of the fuel duty tax. They still need to pay for diesel, which has sky rocketed recently.
Over 60’s/disabled concessionary scheme pays a fraction of the full adult fare.
Under 22’s scheme just replaces what would have been largely cash payments.
Bus lanes and shelters are city infrastructure that were never the responsibility of private operators so completely moot point 🤦🏻♂️ |
