[edit] about TFA selection
my congrats to all the editors of this page! --hydkat 09:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Oy, I give my thanks to whoever made this the feature article. It just struck me how backwards India still is, when I was just beginning to think that the tech revolution has propelled the country slightly into the 21st century. Honestly, just look at the old, dilapidated buses they're still using (plus trains that haven't got air-conditioning and are jam-packed with people sitting on the roofs and hanging off because there simply aren't enough trains for all the commuters). Thank goodness transport in most Chinese cities isn't in such a state anymore. India's development has really left most of its population behind. Of course, China's rural population (65%) has also been left behind, but its urban population (350 million) is leaps and bounds ahead of India's. And to think, Mumbai is somehow supposed to be India's second-most-developed city after Bangalore. Now, this shows which of the Asian giants is really winning. --Lapin rossignol 12:03, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Critisism is good because it pushes people to work harder - but a lot of what you just said is based on faulty assumptions. Since when is development a race? And what goal would such a race have? So who is winning what? Vastu 17:07, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Lapin, it is simply the case of not having pictures with suitable license of the newer buses to be used in this article. But yes, India is not nearly as rich as modern European nations or even China. Thanks for your rather insightful commentary (not). And the images of the buses in the article look clean and efficient to me - yes a lot of them are older but it is not best use of funds to replace buses that are working properly just so that it looks nicer. Toodles. --Blacksun 21:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

A new image of buses is added. I've not got the photohraph of a 'gleaming' bus. Some how i still like the old 'dilapidated' buses. It has a character. Pratheepps 10:51, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1871 fare
The proposed season ticket price of £30 seems a tad ridiculous. In 1870, GNP per head for the United Kingdom was £30 (actually, £29 18s, but who's counting?). Given that the company was asking for an annual wage for a monthly bus ticket, I'm not surprised that there wasn't too much interest. Could someone please confirm the cost? It is possible that it is intended to be 30d or that it has been adjusted for inflation. Bastin8 17:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
