Cost obviously outweighs quality in Cheshire East.

Given Arriva are operating the same frequency using the same number of buses on most of the Cheshire East routes they've taken over maybe that person thinks Arriva's higher costs covers putting a bus-helicopter on the service which can take off and fly over any traffic jams?

What Cheshire East/TSS need to realise is D&G Bus keep operating costs as low as possible without compromising the service offered, if anyone offers to run the service for significantly less than D&G Bus they will more than likely compromise the service offered.
