While there are some parts of the network that could survive on a
3TPH service, I don't think that any of it is in zone 1.

Right, because a 0 TPH service is a so much a better solution.

A 20 bus/hour service would probably be better than a 3tph service.

Oh look, that's what they do.

A service that's not there and is known not to be there is arguably better
than one you think is there that you can't use because of overcrowding.
Such an infrequent service might cause dangerous overcrowding.

In central london? You're having a laugh. Buses are a joke. Last time I
took one any distance it took about 4 times longer than the tube.


Oh look, that's what they do.

And the reason they couldn't do both is....?
