It would seem that lower overall frequencies are in most parts the case but the obvious benefit which counteracts that for those who pay a fare or buy weekly tickets is that whereas previously they were tied to one operator's services they can now use either irrespective of whether it's a First or Arriva ticket. The daytime frequency might be less but certainly on the Liverpool QBPs there has been a more regular service outside these times thanks to co-ordination and the same inter-available tickets.
