With price rises are all being held to randsom?

Electric Vehicles and other buses give bus company significant fuel savings per mile so the bus companies are running on reduced overheads funded by the North East Mayor and central government as taxpayers but they still use the excuse that fares need to increase?

Same as the metros if we have half of the new metro in service they will have a massive saving in being more efficient - shouldnt this mean the price per mile should decrease and our fares should decrease too! Or am I living in a cooo kooo land
