Go North East

RE: Go North East
Although it may be a good deal in the short term, there are still a large number of costs which will have to be forked out by local councils and indeed Nexus. The initial setup costs are being forgotten about as are the long term impact of unprofitable routes, which if councils and communities are left to decided where they want their buses to go to then the routes certainly will be unprofitable.

You will also see bus operators pull out of areas thus causing job losses and we all no what will happen then. NEXUS will be blamed for putting hundreds out of work and there will be a backlash against this whole scheme.

Hopefully a cross ticketing between operators will be agreed then Nexus will go away.
