RE: Stagecoach Manchester
When First took over there used to be loads of publicity taking place in Wigan. New vehicles were invested in, routes were expanded up on and even some new ones created ie 622. Then around 2002 I think it was they had a big restructure and a lot of routes got chopped and the investment in buses stopped. First used all of Giles' points above, however having grew up in that area I know a lot of people who have given the bus a chance and then gone "HOW MUCH!!!!!!!!" or "pay that much to have my bones rattled" etc. Result? They go back to the car. Look at the 582, that has a lot of passengers at OAP age, however good management and constant investment has seen the route thrive. One thing Stagecoach did here when they took over Glenvale was reduce the fairs and invest in vehicles, and on face value looks to have paid dividends. If people see improvements at better prices they will use, but only if the publicity is right. |
