Route Development | Network Expansion & New Services
(29 Dec 2021, 8:54 pm)Dan To be fair under an Enhanced Partnership, there’s work that the operators can be doing with or without a BSIP.Any chance you can give me and others a run down of what GNE have asked for?
Rationalising corridors with competition, coordinating frequencies and having joint ticketing arrangements is what is right for the customer, and, ultimately, what is right for the operator. The days of competition are gone, now. Collaborative working and partnership is the new age of deregulation.
The BSIP remains fictitious at this stage and it’ll be interesting to see how the money, should any be received, is divvied out. Is it more important for example to maintain services, if operators cannot continue running them because it is unsustainable in a post-Covid world, or is it better to use that money to provide increased frequencies on ‘super bus’ corridors? It’s interesting to note that frequency is no longer king, according to a recent passenger survey.
