Merseyside Night Buses

The only question is how it is paid for. I agree that that cashless payment is the way forward whether it be through smart cards or debit cards. Since concessionary passes have become smart cards and the more recent introduction of Walrus cards, each operator now knows exactly who is using its services and when. As Mr T posted earlier, what appears to be a little used service (through cash receipts) is often very well used and Arriva and Stagecoach should, in this day and age, have precise information on who uses these new night services and when.

There will only be a couple of buses on each route, and I imagine they will keep the same drivers throughout the night - that is only 2 drivers per depot (Speke, Gilmoss and Rock Ferry) to verbally report rough loadings throughout the night to the duty manager. It will be very easy to track how these services do compared to normal daytime operation
