As the old saying goes, you have to speculate to accumulate, and before the big flu buggered things up, MG proved that it could work.
He ploughed money into the fleet, acquiring higher spec vehicles and refurbishing older ones to a higher standard, and passenger numbers started to increase.
Turns out when buses aren't rancid old bangers like the old farts on here reminisce about, people actually choose to travel by bus!
People won't use the bus when it is infrequent and packed.
All bus companies are guilty of the same tactics, all pretty much a falsehood claiming to be providing the needs of the customer.
