If you are old enough to remember when state-owned buses carried slogans on the back, urging occupants of cars following them to 'Take the bus, it's much more convenient', you probably also realise that this exhortation fell upon eyes blinded by the perceived attraction of private transport. This is worth recalling as we learn, from England's bus minister Baroness Vere, that a government-backed campaign will encourage us to get back on buses and coaches when the Covid-19 pandemic passes and life returns to something more like normal. A campaign, she assures us, in which none of the state's guns will do anything short of blaze. |
