Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• Dorking UDC has decided that it cannot afford a £25 weekly subsidy asked by London Transport to run a bus service in a neglected area. Following the withdrawal of the route 433 Dorking-Coldharbour service, an independent operated for a short while, but this stopped about a year ago. A Post Office bus was then suggested; this was not pursued.

LT was asked to restart its service as there were a number of old people's homes along the route but as little use was made of the original serVice it was not prepared to do so, unless Dorking offered to subsidize the loss. To provide three journeys a day on Mondays. Thursdays and Saturdays IT said it would require £25 per week, for an o-m-o. sing le-decker.
