Are there any bus companies in the UK that charge a flat fare of just over a pound (Opinion, 21 January)? The ones in Nice do, enabling you even to take a two-hour trip up into the Alps. The same sort of practice also applies in other parts of France. I don’t know how they can afford it, but it’s good news for travellers.
