Graham Stevenson, national officer of Unite said: 'Iain Duncan Smith is callously telling people to get on a bus to look for a job but the Tories are actually cutting bus services. It's alarming that subsidies paid direct to bus operators have been cut by a massive 20 per cent.

Granted they might be able to trim some of the backroom costs back but I cant see anything other than service cuts tbh |
Cutting subsidies isn't the same as cutting services though.
Also the cost for Oyster is 1.20 per trip regardless of length (which can be long sometimes). The maximum daily charge for bus use is £3.90. Oyster is also free via a refundable £3 deposit.
