The journalists and campaigners who cooperated with the Labour Party before 2013 in making public buses the biggest issue ever, and Arriva public enemy no. 1, really deserve a good hiding.
Look at the consequences. The Labour Party didn’t have a plan, and it could persuade the Spanish people over to run the show only by paying them tens of millions in subsidies.
Arriva had a subsidy of €8 million in 2012. But last year alone, the Spanish operators Autobuses de Leon received a subsidy of €23 million.
