Right but how much of those operating costs go away if you don’t have to charge?

And let’s say you scope this only to buses (which are used less by commuters, and have real impacts on the environment)

Honestly I think not charging for buses in London would net out positively financially, and be better for all involved (faster, less cars on the road, easier to design buses for disabled access and prams etc.)

Why don't any of the agencies that ever investigated this question come to the same conclusion?
