The city vs county divide between stagecoach and other operators stems back to the operators that stagecoach and gne took over from. What would benefit those routes the most is better multi-operator ticket options outside of the nexus area, particularly for those of us who would pay full adult fares.
I really do think having better multi-operator tickets would solve a good proportion of the problems with the public transport.
In particular, if an operator can't be arsed to run a service on an evening or a Sunday *cough* X21 to West Auckland *cough*, then you should be able to use the GNE ticket on another operators service that follows the same route.
