Also, there will be things like tyres (most bus companies lease their tyres), so a saving there as its based on mileage. Wifi and Telematics systems also normally carry a monthly charge if the vehicle is in service and then you have the engineering side - vehicles are normally checked every 28 days, so if you are short of staff due to been off with CONVID-19, the vehicle might not be able to get checked.
Ah road tax, totally forgot about that. I knew there'd be something I forgot.
I was just thinking on a maintenance point of view surely it would've been better to swap them around say monthly as it's not ideal leaving anything off the road for months on end when they're designed for heavy use but the tax is no doubt high for some of the older stock so makes sense.
