It should be a per requisite that the bus companies have to run certain routes, along with the more lucrative stuff.
This is one area where privatisation just doesn't work.
It's all well and good for the "bean counters" to chop out loss making routes. However, some of these have to be part of the overall service.
Some things are not just down to pound notes.
Maybe we should have stuck to the socialist model, providing a decent service and with a play to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads
I agree up to the last paragraph - for 90% of the customers the bus service works - it has plenty of customers that is for sure. If you wanted to get the 10% a regular service then it has to funded so that can only be by increasing the costs to the 90% so your socialist model makes everyone poorer but that is the model drag everyone down apart from those at the very top e.g. private education is only for the very few at the top!!
