Having been using London transport for five or six years now, I’d like to flag up this charmingly enthusiastic piece about the London red bus. The writer thinks it’s great how visiting London from Liverpool, all our busses in this city are now accessible, and that he can roll on and off busses with ease. He is right, of course. I suppose I now take it for granted, and don’t give much thought to it – after all, remember the trouble I had getting on the number twenty from Alsager to Crewe. At he same time, I have become rather jaded: bus drivers in london can be pricks! They can refuse to stop; they can pretend the ramp isn”t working; they can say, in that bastardised form of English only bus drivers seem possessed of, that ”they got a buggy on, mate”’. Things are thus far from perfect; once you’ve been a Londoner a while, the problems with London transport, great though it is, become blindingly obvious.
