Profits for bus company but loss for customers
If she is not aware of it, the national press, on February 26 last year, carried a story with the words "Stage-coach revealed a sharp rise in revenue".
In August, 2007, the Gazette reported that bus route cuts were again making headlines because of the success of the free bus scheme.
At the same time, profits are increasing.
All companies seem to have different methods.

Editor's note: Mrs Golding has asked us to point out a misprint in her letter published last week.
She was actually proposing a flat rate for bus passes of 1.00, but because the full stop in her hand-writing was so faint, it was not spotted, and the figure was printed as 100.
