I was interested in your editorial and story regarding the shortfall of £400,000 in the bill for bus passes (Oxford Mail, October 15). Could this be partly due to the council being overcharged by the bus companies?

I and my wife always get on the bus at Cornwallis Road, and get off at Carfax, yet the tickets state that we get off at Park End Street, some distance further on, and that we get on at the Oval.

I took this matter up with the council and they told me they would look into the matter and get back to me within 10 days.

That was well over a month ago and I'm still waiting.
