The Government is not going to renew its contract with
Addison Lee, the people carrier, for carrying its people. This comes,
coincidentally, at the same time as AL has been forced not to use the bus lanes
following its boss’s promise to pay its drivers’ fines for doing so. John
Griffith claims that black cabs that are allowed to use said lanes have an
unfair competitive advantage. Personally I think it is outrageous that any
important people in London still are stuck in traffic. The lane used by buses
should be turned over to exclusive use for the people London is for – proper important
people with proper jobs. These people have to get around London quickly.
Passengers in buses aren’t that important enough to have such a privilege. That
is what is wrong. There should be a clear run from First Class train or plane
seat to the desk or important business meeting – a run not hampered by a busload
of cleaners or administrative assistants or whoever it is travels by bus. Those
kind of people work in London for the benefit of the proper people and their place
is not in the fast lane!
