Dalston Be Careful!

For those of you who take the “Freebus” (Long, winding, two cab buses), be careful. Boris has been cracking down around town. When I lived in town in the Summer of 08′ the freebus was a beautiful thing. In a city with the one the highest costs of living anywhere in the World, the long/bendy bus (known as the freebus) was a welcome relief to the high prices of the TFL. In East London, in particular, with many lower socioeconomic inhabitants, the freebus has been a sort of built in economic relief for those on the lower end of the financial spectrum. Well, apparently that free ride has been coming to halt. Boris has been cracking down in order to make it more “fair”, I think was his wording.

Here’s some pictures and a video of the 149 being raided in Dalston off Kingsland Rd.
