Prior to bus deregulation buses were called PSV's (Passenger SERVICE Vehicles) but now they are PCV's (Passenger CARRYING Vehicles). It's been over 30 years since buses were a public service and the fact that poor, sick people can't afford to get to a hospital is not the concern of Messrs Arriva, Avon and Stagecoach. Harsh but true.

Arriva are not privately owned bis company, as they are ultimately owned by the German Government via DB.
