I think the suggestion made here a few months ago was the best one: the annual fare rise should only apply when the fuel duty escalator is also in effect.

(Apologies to whoever suggested it for forgetting your name!)

I think the suggestion that the annual fare rise should only apply when the service is at an acceptable level would be more palatable to most?

Saw this on twitter and was wondering what other forum users think of it....

Will the RPI or CPI argument be raised again?
