Mayor's come together and ask for more money to prop up/save routes.
Just nationalise the lot now and save all the hassle.
I don't think there's the political will or the public appetite for nationalisation. People like the idea of it but the reality isn't all its cracked up to be. The buses in manchester will forever end up being a stick to beat Burnham with.
It doesn't help that the vast majority of passengers will be of the lower demo and less likely to vote versus a private car user eiither.
