    That’s so ridiculous I’m lost for words, quite frankly. To suggest a 50% increase is a positive because it could have been worse is at best very stupid and worst, dishonest .

    It seems feddit has been captured by the party faithful . At least we know now.

      I never said it was a positive.

      And claiming the Tory discount was not due to end is dishonest.

      I said it was a 50% reduction in discount. I made no claim of positive or negative. And pointed out the positive of the first large scale public investment in buses outside London in over 40 years.

      Do not put words in my mouth.

      Now to actually claim the positives here. The tories planed to end the £2 cap costing about £225m a year and pay nothing to expand bus services back into the huge number of rural routs they have been ended over their leadership.

      The Labour Party instead invested £151 in the £3 discount Plus another £925M in 25-26 to introduce new bus routes, make services more frequent and protect crucial bus routes for local communities.

      Now explain how you can claim this is not an overall improovement.

        The words in your mouth are here for everyone to see. That’s enough for me.
