Maybe, but suggesting it'll do damage to other companies more frequent service, operating all day is lunacy

yea thats correct i know people in eccelston hate changing buses in town for a bus to liverpool and in thatto heath its not about how regular the bus service is its about the price, you take a look at the 137 since april its took more passengers as they are sick of arrivas and stagecoaches prices going up, all it will take is a good number of people over time to move onto this 139 to make it work and i really feel like it can give it the time to grow and settle in

You can get better value out of a Saveaway ticket. Which fool would buy a Cumfybus-only day ticket for an hourly service when a Saveaway can be used on anything to that area from Liverpool?
RE: Merseytravel Timetable Changes - T42 PVM - 18/06/2012 22:03
good point they dont need a day ticket yet your right there they should wait for their network to grow a bit

I don't buy that, people might well be fed up with fares increacing, but at least there's a fleet modern buses that been invested by Stagecoach & Arriva, passengers wont like waiting 60 minutes[even 30 minutes]when there's a bus every 6 minutes with a service all Week & the operator tickets being valid on the other operator because of the QBP.

As long as it shows up and the fares are fairly cheap - and most care about a seat. They're not going to go out of their way to wait for Cumfybus' hourly service, unless it was due somewhere close to them in about five minutes and it didn't involve missing loads of other buses in that direction!
