Geoff Pope, one of the Lib Dems on the London Assembly, has been quizzing Mayor Ken about public transport at Christmas.
Last year Geoff pressed the Mayor to look at whether a Christmas Day bus service running on a night bus timetable might be possible; so far Ken’s answer is no. Bah humbug!
I think it’s a great idea; Christmas Day is the only day there is no public transport, yet it’s also a day when people want to travel to see family & friends, (maybe even go to church). And no bus or tube risks more drink driving.
Maybe if we get a change of Mayor, we’ll also get a Christmas Day bus service for 2008.
