Public Transport8 Jul 2020 12:11
I do not hold shares in First but have held a large holding in another bus company. I worked in bus transport for about twelve years and during which time it was widely promoted by the government and councils. The rural bus fund came went and was squandered. The industry was dreadfully slow in con tactless fare charging. There was no integrated ticketing in where I was no county wide plan. It was a free for all and now thankfully I am out of the fiasco. I remain current and up to date though as I am now involved in home to school or not as the case is at present.
he government is actively telling people to avoid public transport. Thousands have found they can now work from home and shop on line with no need to visit a town centre. Even the next series of Portillo will probably find him riding a bicycle but certainly not a train methinks. The government says they want to promote green so buy and electric car or bicycle because buses are history without a vaccine..
