Who marks the Bus Stops in London? The local highway authority like in

Transport against London *is* the highway authority.

Only on the red routes.

A corrupt situation.

Eh?

That the operator/regulator of a particular class of transport has the
ability to elbow all other road-users aside, giving preference to its
own vehicles, is outrageous.

There is no-one with a brief for the needs of travellers in or one other
road-modes. Car-users, in particular, are treated abominably in London.

If this were a private company (Stagecoach, for instance) the usual
suspects would up on their hind legs braying of corruption.

Highway authorities should be kept quite separate from PT authorities,
as well as being given a clear duty to cater for all travellers and to
maximise capacity within their budget.

Hardly given the small proportion of the road network TfL actually
manage.

The boroughs have the lion's share.

Look at the last few pages of the document below - it lists out who is
responsible for what on the road network.

Have you tried driving (a car) along any of London's major arteries
recently?

No but I don't see how that remark automatically means TfL are a
corrupt organisation which is what you implied. There is no point in
turning London's roads into motorways given the decline in car usage
over the last decade.
