摘要

Buses figure a lot more prominently in local politics in Sheffield than in most other UK cities. Visibly so. You only need to spend a few minutes walking around its centre before you start encountering fly-posted bills from a pressure group calling itself We Want Our Buses Back.rnSome went up at the start of the year calling on people to demonstrate against First's latest fares increase - up by 9% on some journeys - and announcing a march and rally on the issue. 'Re-regulate now! Get buses back into public control and ownership,' they say.rnThese late twitches of the 'People's Republic of South Yorkshire', which defied the Thatcher government a quarter century ago with heavily subsidised cheap fares, come from a group at least pardy connected with the Trotskyist-inclined Socialist Party.
