Apparently it's upto 1500 signatures. 

Funny because if 1500 people were using it weekly it wouldn't have been cut....

There was about that many signatures for one that was done when the SL2 was cancelled if I remember rightly. Not sure when they were all catching it though.

Now you've mentioned them, I wonder what their previous forum ID was - also cancelled, according to SFBeca in a post elsewhere.

Cheese and ham sandwich guy, i reckon. Mr Allen.

I doubt it - with due respect to the guy, I don't think LP's posting style fitted him

I believe this funding has come from central government and is ring fenced for bus support

@busdriver1OK, I stand (or sit) corrected.

The £2 single fares on First buses have worked well for me but mainly because I've been working from home most days since March 2020

Assuming the scheme isn't extended at the end of March then are we going to see another exodus of drivers that have had enough of the abuse when it goes back to full fare?

 

Are we going to see O-LIE-ver Copp-out announcing that the fare cap is great and suggests that it's proof the companies can run these lower fares, failing to mention the taxpayer's contributions, to further his own agenda?
