Public Transport is a great thing.Everybody including me would agree that it should be cheaper but due to fuel prices and insurance costs due to the "no win no fee" attitude these days it is barely a non profit business.I'll be working from 12.05 - 23.40 tomorrow on the huncoat route,these evening and sunday services are subsidised by the council.So ie. the council will be paying us a few hundred £sss to run that service on Sunday and i'll probably only take about £30-40 in fares.It's such a waste of taxpayers money.I ain't even gonna go into Blackburn councils deceiving ways and underhand tactics regarding Blackburn Transport, it aint pretty.
