You should see the ones on the outskirts of Norwich then....Grants from the LA, paid by the locals = new buses. New bus stops, for the two semi-ambulant people a week that make use of them = more money coughed up by the locals, most of whom live closer to the city centre than the park and ride, which doesn't stop en-route, is and hence, don't use the thing that they've had no option other than to cough up for.
Love 'em.
