    Oh, the irony!

    A whole raft of bus routes will be rerouted off their normal path by the cyclists but, hey. come on down and check out our new, permanently-reduced transit services across the city. You can do so for free on the weekend when service is already reduced across the system and many of the routes that commuters use don’t even run.

    Do these people even read their own words or are they really that obtuse?
