From Richard Cole.
ONE has to admire Deputy de Faye inasmuch as he intends to leave his political career the way he started it, ie with ignorance and arrogance. I refer to his answer on a lack of luggage facilities on Airport buses.

Any child of five, if asked, would say that an Airport bus is a bus to take people to and from the Airport with their luggage. Up to now, the lack of facilities has been a trivial minor issue with this minister.

Maybe he thought the airlines would do his work for him by putting up baggage charges until all passengers travelled with just a spare pair of knickers in their pocket, doing away with the need for luggage space on the bus. After shouting for years for people to use the buses, he now says that so many are using them that it is going to be a challenge.

Whoever takes over at TTS should take a leaf out of the book of a UK rail service spokesman who said, when people complained of being packed like cattle in carriages, that he didn’t put more carriages on because it would only encourage more people to use the service. That’s a PR officer earning his money.
