You were referring to the costs of the Australian scheme. I believe Australia has a 'Department of Home Affairs' rather than a 'Home Office' and I don't think they are planning on sending asylum seekers to Rwanda? Quite. 1713869987 Probably some of them still don't. However, Aborigines were...

No idea, and really the concern of Australians to take up with their politicians if they don't think it is worth it.

So what? The community is presumably not obsessed with the cheapest option - they just don't want asylum seekers to be living amongst them.

This scenario must be a very, very small number of people. Your employer can either get you a taxi, or replace you with somebody who can get to the polling station.

Not sure that is quite so significant for goods traffic, which is what is being discussed?

Have Governments really, over the last 20 years? In the UK? A load of hot air maybe, while actually doing the opposite. DRT is really just taxis at bus fares, with drivers on 'Union rates', and that is never going to work out financially.

Not to be forgotten that with the BSIP+ allocation to Shire counties came the withdrawal of the Covid support grants to bus companies, so part of the money has gone to bus companies to maintain the level of service (so not 'new' money). It is not just individual bus journey times though - it is...

I think that divergence happened, in most towns and villages, very many years ago. (depending on your interpretation of 'modern life' of course)

It may or may not be depending on what is trying to be achieved, and what it is being compared to.

Provided it is 'Global' (all countries) pass, then you could use it [with the E* reservation and supplement] for the entire Manchester-Paris journey on Day one

Especially if it is other communities who are footing the bill. We have never seen those minimums applied across the country - even in the golden years of buses many villages and hamlets only got buses (and then only for shopping journeys) once or twice a week, and some not at all. Society may...

'Super Dense Crush Load' factor ?

'Better the devil you know' ?

Plus off peak [when the Continental trains would be most likely run] train Metropolitan and suburban train frequencies were probably a fraction of those today.

And of course what are the immediate financial effects of 'network ticketing benefits' (presumably a proportion of travellers had been paying for multiple tickets who now don't need to do so, and possibly other harmonisation of ticket prices and/or conditions) as building additional custom as a...

In terms of South Africa, if the offence is committed then the offender is 'liable on conviction to a fine or to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 12 months'. (s26b of South African Citizenship Act 1995). So best not try!!

South Africa is similar - In terms of section 26(B) of the South African Citizenship Act, 1995, it is a punishable offence for a South African citizen of 18 years and older to leave or enter South Africa on a foreign passport. https://www.dha.gov.za/index.php/civic-services/travel-documents

You are right, but I don't think it was quite envisaged at the time that those staff would sell on their newly acquired (at knock down prices) businesses to City shareholders [in one way or another] and(often early) retire on the proceeds, and for those new investors to grow their businesses by...

Yes, perhaps I am overthinking this. The Council can, currently, have complete control over any bus route they require (although they don't necessarily exercise such completeness), but they only have limited control over the entire bus network (depending on how much commerciality there is).

What makes you say they have limited control? A Council can have as much control now as they can afford over a bus route they require. Local Authorities can tender a service and get the revenue now if they want to. Generally they don't, because they don't want to take the risk, and prefer to...
