The bus fares have just gone up again for the fourth time in 12 months. My wages are just above the legal minimum, how are us poor workers supposed to make ends meet ? It's high time the polticians were forced to use public transport, then they just might do something to improve it, but i wouldn't bank on it. Best Regards Allan Pape Hi Jen
