I was amazed to learn that there is no multi-operator, multi-modal ticket available in the TfGM area as, where I live (Merseyside), these have been available for decades in various forms marketed by Merseytravel.

Unless something really unexpected happens, it is almost certain that the proposed franchising of the bus network in Greater Manchester will happen as planned. Consequently, all current bus operators have a vested interest in ensuring that they are involved if they wish to continue trading. As for First being forced to offer one of their buses for display in the new colours, I would suggest that First can see the writing on the wall.
