15 june 2008 - London Borough of Hillingdon, Western Avenue. An Oxford Tube double-decker has just entered London, having crossed the Green Belt. Sometimes you just can't help liking free competition on the road. Stagecoach invested quite heavily in their coach fleet (the lower deck is even low-floor and wheelchair accessible!), which runs every 10-15 minutes between Oxford and London, even offering free WiFi internet. The journey time is around 100 minutes, the fare is £12 standard, £9 for students. In contrast, the railways have around 2 tph, journey time is an hour and a bit, but a standard fare is a whopping £22.50. Thus, Oxford Tube has successfully swept through the student market and has become so popular, that the Oxford Bus Company decided to run its own service, the Oxford Espress - same frequency, same fares, and free WiFi as well. The only people pissed off by these developments are probably the Londoners, which have to suffer extra half-empty coaches 'littering' the way between Victoria and the A40.

Pamiętasz może, w jakich miastach ograniczono administracyjnie liczbę autobusów "prywaciarzy" wjeżdżających do ścisłego centrum?
