You can't just say throw a bus route here every 2 hours it costs money, whereas Tees Flex offers the flexibility for people travelling at all times and don't have to wait 90 mins for another bus.

This.

I still think they market DRT's wrong. They should advertised as a cheaper taxi rather than a bus. It's pretty much what they are and try to tap into the taxi market which is a shambles lately taking hours etc doing the pensioners who get the bus from Sainsburys to their house etc.

Right now they're in an awkward middle where taxi passengers won't use them as they're a bus and I don't like buses and bus users don't use them as I have to book one and that's not a bus.
