As for your objection to the elderly using their ENCT passes, without them many routes would quickly prove to be unviable. Rather than be a drain on BT and other operators, the ENCT often proves to be the difference in retaining marginal services

Blackpool Transport paid a dividend to its shareholder.of £588,000 in 2018 - 2.4% of its turnover. The impact of borrowing for the new fleet saw the payment of for services/loan Charges etc to the council increase from £374,000 to £853,000.
