In essence that means that the money received by operators is enough (theoretically) for a service to break even, but not make a profit if all passengers were using passes. In practice however its more likely that such a service would make a loss.

As I posted, it had a mixed load. Are there any commercial routes that only carry concessions?

Yesterday I bussed it from Ormskirk to Chorley with five friends - only one of whom had a ENCTS - where Stagecoach is the major operator. The buses that left Chorley bus station seemed to have a far higher proportion of concessionary passes. Is it that Lancashire CC pay a higher rate of remuneration than Cheshire West?
