But, I do get your point.
I wonder how this is working in respect of any cost based agreements they may have? I assume the buyer isn't too chuffed about not having any revenue passed over to them?
Not sure how the costings are worked but surely GNE will still have to pay for the tickets regardless if their multimodel. So Arriva won't be impacted at all, especially with the TNE tickets.
I assume the problem with the Coast Road will be everyone will be getting singles instead which will be outside the partnership.
Assuming that the TNE system is done on some form of ORCATS system where all the money goes into one pot and then split between the relevant companies depending on how many passengers they carry - not sure how they calculate Metro passengers though - predictions?
