Greater Manchester Franchising

RE: Greater Manchester Franchising
But they have a base price what it will cost per bus as we have the Free City bus that does not take fares, also we pay as it is for number of services that dont make money for the open market so they have to be paid any way.

Will routes iike 192,203,42,250 take the money to pay for lower used routes. What no one is looking at is much does it cost today to run all Manchester buses so it be. Good routes take X pounds and poor routes take X pounds so then all that money goes in pot then we take money that would of been paid anyway and that goes in pot. That is then the pot to run all services now it should cost same as today as the poor routes will be paid by the busy routes. So apart from setup costs running it all should be same so long as bus firms dont get allowed to make bids to make more money then today.
