Mmm. I think you could be right. Again there are hurdles. Labour flogged off the depot on the cheap. There's scale and business development issues. Capital costs upfrnt for livery and site. And nowadays with consolidated large bus companies, economies of scale.

Franchising is half way house. We sell the popular routes through bids. We use the surplus to fund loss making routes.

We franchise in a complex way looking into escalating returns and uplifts and charge out per passenger using the bus station like we used too before mmmmmmmmmmmmmm wHen we shouldn't have.
