Other social media apps like Instagram can use your phone's location to show region-targeted marketing. Partially why you see GNE/Metro ads on TV and Instagram, but not TikTok, as they'd be pointless to be advertising their services to someone who lives outside the North East.
Its the same thing I rant about when GCT/JH Coaches win a contract it just puts people off, as if you're going to the Metrocentre, or Newcastle you need to buy another ticket, which is why services in Arriva territory/GNE territory/SC Territory which are contracted should be given to them. It would atleast give them a chance if the operator advertises services
I don't see why GNE/SCNE/Arriva don't use TikTok, they can just create a page and advertise services whether thats for SCNE X24, Arrivas 22/23/24 Connections, GNE X21/20/21/X45 etc
Arriva, being a more national company have started doing some 'general' TikTok ads ... about how to catch a bus. In Liverpool!
