Oh right. I didn't know it was common. It it a good thing to do. I can see the benefits but at a time when funding is tight, splashing out on fancy ticket machines doesn't seem like the sort of thing to do. Even though they will make their money back in the long run. Wouldn't a company find it cheaper to look at getting their own ticket machines?

If your a company that mainly depends on tendered routes then leasing is the best option as with the way the cuts are going the company could lose routes at anytime.
At least this way if you lose work then you can get rid of the machines needed for the work thats lost , same with the lease of the buses as you never know if your gonna keep the tender or not.

Yes it was out all night as YD63 VCE had a fault earlier on, the driver took it and kept it.
