FOR the second day running, the ftr bus has not show up in time for me to take my children to school in Heslington.

The bus is twice the length (but it does have one extra seat) at £400,000 worth of public money for traffic measures, and it will cost me more.

It will only be a matter of time before a cyclist is hurt as the bus is too long for the roads it is trying to navigate. This is not progress. We will now be walking or cycling, whatever the weather.
