Don't forget though that MCT would need to register these commercially which is not what they are about. They are still a non for profit company that ploughs any profits into the CT side of the business. There is talk of HCT splitting the company and keeping the minibus side MCT and renaming the bus side CT plus and like in London running as a seperate company and going for bigger commercial services - but I believe that's the plan should franchising come in in some form.
