I'm getting a bit confused by this. Are you saying your council tax
subsidises TFL? The talk of village and one bus an hour doesn't sound like
a TFL area.

It's not a TfL area, but you raised the issue of council tax payers (I'm
one) using PT, and I don't.

Only in the context of London council tax payers 'subsidising' TFL.

Even adding in the missing 'London', I don't actually agree, and
quoted my own experience on the matter.

Don't really see how choosing to live in an area with poor PT has any
relevance to the situation in the TFL area where PT is generally very
good.

I described how I almost never used (TfL's) PT when living in the TfL
area.

You described an area which sounds rather odd. No tube *and* no overground?

There was a time when you needed different tickets for overground and tube.

But with TFL it's integrated.

Other thing of course is most council charges are for a household. Where
others than the CC payer can use PT.
