Sir – Revolution? Fresh Era? Not long ago bus services in Oxford were mainly run by one company, so that ticketing problems were non-existent. There was easy interchange between routes, in contrast to the lack of connectivity across the centre of Oxford.

Now, most routes see no competition. Bus companies can choose when and where they run services, and there is little incentive to provide the connectivity for the seamless journey that most of us seek.
