Not Tower Hamlets but Southwark. Only the deluded would think these things work. They nothing more than robbing Peter to pay Paul.

You know what annoys me the most in that article - not one mention of getting people onto public transport at all.

They make public transport inaccessible with things like this , Go back to the 90s you had "hopper" routes popping up everywhere that used to traverse backstreets connecting more people , nowadays the routes are moved to a main road not to inconvenience a LTN or Tfl instead of the whole purpose of the route to serve the public i.e 309 no longer serving Aberfeldy Village and W12 being cut from Walthamstow Village with a half a mile walk to catch the bus .
