SIR – I see that the Metro bus company have put up the fares, no doubt they will be increased again in April as all other household bills are increased.

I would like some of the money from the increase to be spent on cleaning or re-covering bus seats.

Some seats smell of stale urine, the smell is awful.

I am always aware that wherever I sit my clothes will be smelling when I get off the bus.

Over the last few years the smell has got worse. Has anyone else noticed or is it just me?

Surely some drivers must have noticed when they get on the bus.
