Someone mentioned using a Toyota Corolla on a bus route. There was once a route in Wales, which was run in 1990 by a man using an Austin Montego saloon car. As far as I know, the route was very rural, hence the use of a car. So the idea isn't as fanciful as you may think! |

TfGM officers recommend the withdrawal of the subsidy as part of required budgetary efficiency savings. First Manchester has indicated its intention to withdraw the commercial service with the exception of some peak journeys. There is an average number of 2.8 unique passengers affected per trip with a cost per passenger £4.63. Peppermint Bridge and Bentgate would be unserved Monday to Saturday daytime, a distance of just over 800 metres and just under 400 metres respectively to the nearest services. Kiln Lane area to be served by the revised route on service 462 (see separate report). Services 58 and 181 provide a combined 6 buses per hour along Milnrow Road and Rochdale Road. Evening and Sunday journeys are unaffected. |

How would one go about looking at which tenders are available to put bids in for? Say I owned a bus and had a licence etc... |
