I HAVE just read with interest the article by David Higgerson on the new traffic restrictions in Ringway, Preston (Citizen, November 11).

It seems that Preston Council is trying to improve bus services in and out of town and get more people on buses.

Maybe someone should tell the council that the only way to get more bums on seats (to coin a phrase) is by reducing bus fares and making it cheaper to travel by bus than by car.
