Busses are crap, always were, always will be.

In general, I think the bus service in London is great. I have elderly
relatives in London, too infirm to drive, for whom the bus is a lifeline.

More specifically, when operated by First using 'deckers, route 25 was
perfectly acceptable - busy but IMX fairly reliable.

The bendi-bus conversions have effectively replaced seating capacity with
standing capacity. This is fine for the short distance Red Arrow routes, but
unacceptable for long distance routes like the 25 and 73. Also, I'm afraid
that a system of revenue collection which effectively relies on the honesty
of Londoners aint going to work - and I say that as a Londoner born and
bred.

The fight you mention is a
sympton of a much larger problem in this country though, low life scum.

Indeed.
