MANY words have graced the illustrious pages of The Press regarding the ftr bus.

My personal opinion is that it would probably be better suited to the big cities and the wide roads of Birmingham and Manchester.

I also find it quite unbelievable that it was deemed ready for service to the public with so many teething problems.

Regardless of what the citizens of York think, there is one man sitting in a office crunching numbers; he is called an accountant, and if this bus does not take the expected revenue over a certain period it will be put into service elsewhere.

I just hope City of York Council does not start spending our taxes putting the roads back to how they were pre-ftr.

One thing was okay - the colour purple.
