Will she ever learn?

In a civilised country, they don't allow children to drive such scooters.

Hardly children, and most relevant: not on public transport.

The worst are motorised skateboards, which do usually have younger children on them. But I've not very often seen those outside the USA.

I've clarified which London fares have been frozen, which benefit from a subsidy, and what the magnitude of the subsidy is, and where it comes from.

Is that why I wrote: "I wasn't judging whether the subsidy was right or wrong" ??

And: "I recognised that my ability to drive was significantly enhanced by the number of others who had been incentivised to use [subsidised services]".

except I don't.

The goalposts then moved to a discussion of whether it was in fact a lopsided subsidy:

"If would be a very rare council tax payer who doesn't, didn't and won't ever use PT to a greater or lesser extent. Or those in the household the council tax is levied on."

Which is an attempt to justify the subsidy by saying it's *not* lopsided. But I disagree with the concept that households are paying in and getting out in roughly equal measure.

Doesn't that suggest that in fact I'm not unhappy about it being lopsided, but merely unhappy that people try to claim otherwise.

Yes they were. Must be about 7 or 8.
