(24 Aug 2023, 6:23 pm)Adrian I'm a bit confused by your final paragraph, as what you suggest with everyone entering bids with 'massive double digit % margins', would surely amount to price fixing? I'd envisage (and hope!) that we'd have a competitive process, whereby we end up with operators that genuinely want to deliver a good service on their routes. If not, then I think it furthers the argument to get the ban on municipal bus operators removed from law.
