RE: Talks of Liverpools bus network being "council" run
I reckon this idea is more Pie-In-The-Sky nonsense from Merseytravel.

The fact is Stagecoach Group and Deutsche Bahn (Arriva) have got too much power over the bus network anyway.
And (as we all know) big business controls governments rather than the other way round.

Still its a nice idea, in theory at least.
Fares would be cheaper, and train times would link-up with bus times so the public transport network would be more integrated.
The problem of congestion could be addressed by putting in more bus lanes, so that journey times would be faster and more efficient.

OOPS SORRY! DID I MENTION BUS LANES??
Sorry 'bout that!
I forgot that Mayor Anderson is always right and everybody else is always wrong!
