Up early today HJ? Or posting from another country?
At first sight, the figures all look pretty good - too good? To good to be true? Bus journeys up 6%, average age of buses down, more low floor buses, more buses with CCTV and GPS, fares fell by 3% in real terms, it just goes on and on!
Public transport usage has gone up significantly by every measurement, it wouldn't be because motorists are fed up with traffic jams - would it?
Does the figure for licensed taxis include private hire vehicles (mini-cabs) presumably not.

With more passengers I look forward to more capacity (as is obviously required) and lower fares per passenger. Perhaps also better punctuality as the operators take their job of carrying more passengers, more seriously.
I'm sure all of these will be forthcoming :-)
