Since when has the fuel duty rebate paid for stuff like new buses and smartcards?
Its a pot of funds, that includes the fuel rebate (a rebate on 49p isn't a bad little earner).
Do the companies not make enough money to pay for new technology and passenger handouts without a few quid in handouts like?
It doesn't pay for WiFi or new buses - the previous year's profits do that! The 'repayment' will be used to pay for the following year's fuel.
