It might seem a lot of money but in the grand scheme of things it's literally 1 passenger, every 3 buses an hour. No doubt this strike long term will drop passenger numbers and exceed that.
Never know having the higher wage might mean they could have a full intake of drivers which means that every route could run - yet again which will bring more money in than 1/3 of a passenger fare per hour.
I don’t often reply in this thread, but I wanted to quickly highlight that by increasing wages by £1/hr, you’re adding at least £3 million to the wage bill at GNE.
When the company’s published accounts already show them losing £millions, I’m not sure how they could sustain adding another £3m of cost (on top of the £4m the company has already tabled and has been rejected).
I’m off to pour myself a large glass of red…
