Jim Steer is optimistic ( As usual ) isn’t he?
You STILL get bus stations half-way across town from the railway station & the “Bus Bandits” ( Pace R Ford & I Walmsley ) refusing to have anything to do with railways, unless they are the relevant TOC, & not always then, either. And of course, there’s the DfT …. [ Cynical, moi? ]
Ah, but you can’t have (US) municipally-maintained pavements (“sidewalks”) because that would be scoialism …
And if you think that’s mad, or I’m being ridiculous, look up attitudes in the US to a civilised provision of medical care …..
