Independent Local Bus Companies
(Not sure if right forum, please move if wrong)

Hello my fellow bus lovers, it has come to my attention that quite a few people on this planet don't want local bus companies to succeed, some may well be badly run due to many reasons, but they always want to improve.
Recently a local bus company in Manchester (JPT) decided to ask the public how they could improve their service, and quite a few people have responded by saying many nasty things inc;

Quote:Pack up and let stagecoach transform the bus services of north manchester like they are going to do anyway lol.

Quote:Worst bus company EVER... Just blow all your buses up and get off the road make way for a propa bus company STAGECOACH they will only run you off the road anyway bye bye no good bus company

Quote:Hand the evening tenders back to stagecoach

etc...

What I'd like is some of your input here, maybe voice your opinions on how they could improve, or maybe find ways of expressing how local firms are important for all of us in many ways.


I am personally offended at people wanting a company to fail, I would hate to see the roads full of only 3 company's buses (i.e. First, Arriva, Stagecoach).
