Competition vs Monopoly
(31 Jul 2020, 5:40 pm)RobinHood No bus company (private owned) will simply hand over their business to franchising without essentially the franchisee buying it first. A bus route is effectively their product in much the same way Tesco sells bread. You wouldn't walk into Tesco and take all of the bread to sell it yourself without actually paying for the right to do so?
Only then, do the likes of GNE, Stagecoach and Arriva essentially bid to operate work.
Nobody yet has managed to get franchising in place and running because of the cost associated to get it off the ground. Doesn't matter how much propaganda or positive words said, even Manchester haven't managed it yet.
