I think a better sentence structure may help people understand what you are trying to say.

Let me paraphrase… please don’t pick on Labour.

Not too bad, thought there’d be more on the bus fares.

If I've read previous government stuff right, the cost of a £2 cap was £500m a year, at £3 it's only £151m. It's proportionately more of a saving because it goes to compensate the bus companies for what they lose on fares. And at £3 that's much closer to what the average commercial fare would be. But costs have soared, particularly on driver wages (Brexit, then Covid meaning Amazon poached bus drivers for driving vans).

There were huge subsidies put in place following COVID and the CoL crisis. Kept bus companies on the road and made it cheaper for people to move around.

‘Twas always coming to an end and even at 3 quid, is a really cheap way of getting around. Used to cost me a fiver a day for my commute, and that was over 15 years ago.

Really? It was only 11.50 for a week less than a decade ago. BTW 3 quid there 3 quid back over 5 days days that's 30 quid.

Increase fares less travellers, less travellers less money for operators, less money for operators tenders by local govt cost the council more.

Another Tory move by a fake Labour govt.

As opposed to your laughable embarrassing posts on a Labour MP assaulting someone then you ran away, Beats your outright lies on your income to defend the WFA.
Blueuntrue caught out lying and then done by someone posting on twitter. The irony.

So, a maximum of a tenner a week extra, in certain areas. Alternatively, they can jump on their bike and do it for free.

Tough judgements, for all, but one that the frothers will jump upon.

You following me around again?

My views must really rankle.
