Say it costs £23 per hour to run each bus (which is what the QCS costings estimated), then you're looking at £690 per hour to have two vehicles out on each of those routes, for every hour. Are you really going to take at *least* that per hour in fares? Even meeting that would not be enough, as unfortunately most commercial operators have their own targets to meet. Just breaking even has an impact on overall profit figures.
