When this pandemic is over, instead of canvassing the residents of the major provincial cities whether they want franchising perhaps the residents of London or Belfast could be asked if they want the deregulated system that exists elsewhere in the UK.

I get what your saying and kind of agree, BUT one of the big reasons the tax payer is bailing bus companies out is because our excellent government started warning people against the use of public transport because it wasn’t safe to do so, yet to date there has been no evidence of anyone contracting covid by travelling on bus!
