We need the complete opposite, you should be able to buy a ticket which enables you to get any bus, any local train and any Metro, in zones similar to Arriva's Triple Tickets and/or GNE Buzzfare without it costing an absolute fortune like Network One does, especially outside of T&W.

Who runs the bus should be irrelevant.

This forum is completely riddled by it but it should be Public Transport (of any kind) with walking and cycling facilities vs Car not GNE vs Arriva vs Stagecoach vs Metro vs Train vs Cycling vs Walking vs Car.

The car will always win in the second scenario.

Yep the main issue is not being able to use multi-operator tickets without it costing an absolute fortune especially if you're with 3+ people. However I feel like people get Standards for buses, for instance if I go on GNE I except USB's where buses should have USB's working plug sockets, wifi etc, however If I get on SC I just expect the bus to turn up, and even GNE atm I would much rather have GNE running my service than Arriva or SC.
