I have heard of train spotting and bird watching and in some areas of Bolton - "bus waiting :pocorn: but Cllr Allen seems to have invented a new hobby "bus watching from 9 am to 4 pm.
This does not leave him much time for other council business unless he has a night shift as there are not many buses or cars on the road then.
Cllr Allen does not menton how much of the £12m in subsidies is profit for the bus companies
Eh? Profit is profit .. as in surplus or excess of revenues over expenditure or outlays.. monetary gains. It should not then require a subsidy. Each year I bid for the budget for my patch. If I have any cash left - I do not "rewarded for my thrifty management of lurgy control" - I gets a top up to the budget allocated.
So - I make sure I am just "in the red"
This same logic applies to all public purses by the way.. I just play the game to get my full budget and give value for money.

he also says the buses are empty. You could say the same of the cars with just a driver.
Ah... but I dropped off my passenger colleague who does not live with me. and carried on my way! My wife had dropped off her colleague when I met her along the motorway later. We don't work together. Nor do neighbours all work at the same firm either.. so even if you "car share" - you are always going to me the last one out of the car! wink:

than change his atttitude to the public services which Thatcher considered parasitic"
I'd advise him to carry a brolly at all times as well as the yobs have smashed the bus shelters again
I suppose you could always walk instead of wait for a bus. Or cycle
Wildy came back with a Swiss cycling cape
Covers everything and keeps one jolly dry too
