It was probably said the proposal to design and build the original Routemaster inhouse as a bus for London was too coslty as well, without appreciating it has paid back that investment many times over, and goes on to pour money into London. Ironically, it was the actions of politicians that made that return be less than it could have been by privatising buses in London, going against the people with the original long term vision of what was best financialy and for the passenger in London, who were not apt to be obsessed with the 'priority issue' of the moment. The situation now is as it was before Routemaster, a bus service provided by hundreads of different types of bus, with no regard for the waste or inefficiency as a whole that puts on the public purse. The initial investment is not the total cost of the porject. Short termism from politicians is what has killed a lot of this country.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6041078734586577907/2005754737375264839/comments/default/4562545958144616466'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6041078734586577907/2005754737375264839/comments/default/4562545958144616466'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jochristiesmith.blogspot.com/2008/07/whither-bendy-buses.html?showComment=1218916920000#c4562545958144616466' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://jochristiesmith.blogspot.com/2008/07/whither-bendy-buses.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041078734586577907.post-2005754737375264839' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6041078734586577907/posts/default/2005754737375264839' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041078734586577907.post-2277013167150299835</id><published>2008-08-15T16:22:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2008-08-15T16:22:00.000+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Well, I didn't think they were going to go backwar...</title><content type='html'>Well, I didn't think they were going to go backwards in terms of disability access -
