i checked out the TFL price schemes and more or less, Tube is twice as
expensive. are the running costs of a bus service really that much
cheaper than running the Tube? (the capital cost of building the

are willing to pay more for the convenience of no wait travel? just
curious. thanks.


Try including maintenance costs.

As well as demand management for the tube (heavily overcrowded) versus
buses (capacity to expand).
