IN Our View (Oxford Mail, July 10), you mention that “The 600 signatures on a petition opposing the plan (to cancel free bus transport) is not a huge number”.

In fairness, the petition was only launched fewer than 48 hours before your article, and signatures are continuing to come in at a rate of 300 per day.
