Letter: Bus chaos: legal diversions, surplus and scarcity
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I was first brought to Sheffield as a child in the Twenties, though I did not actually live in the city until the Fifties. My experience of the local transport therefore extends well over 60 years, though not in any official capacity, merely as an ordinary member of the public who used it extensively.
I can endorse the picture of chaos since deregulation as drawn by Christian Wolmar and would love to see a return to a properly integrated, well-maintained and efficient service operated by local authorities - which is what we used to have.
It seems crazy to me, in this age of computer-controlled technology in all walks of life, that anyone could even consider reverting to a free-for-all pandemonium.
Yours faithfully,
