ONCE more we hear, with a depressing, monotonous regularity, from our Liberal overlords that it is we, the city's residents, who are wrong and they who are right over the ftr (Critics of ftr haven't tried it, May 17).

What a shame that they have forgotten that they are the public servants and not the public, whom they treat so contemptuously.

But, hey, look on the bright side. In a couple of months we'll be told what a success the ftr is and that we'll be seeing them on other routes after a multimillion pound scheme to adapt more roads for them, and more increases in bus fares because they are so popular.

Mr S P Smith,

Dijon Avenue,

Acomb, York.
