Sir – In response to the Liberal leader’s letter (March 26) I suggest she is suffering from amnesia as I have never opposed a modern, 21st-century, efficient smartcard system to improve the bus passenger’s choice.

What I did oppose was an old fashioned, outdated, limited area, paper-based bureaucratic proposal by the Liberals. On reflection that sums up all their policies.
