Anything which is advertised well, has the potential to succeed.
However if the product isn't what people want, then I can't see it working.
I love the idea of a comfy bus, with all mod cons, running on time and sustainable enough to survive and see additional investment.
I want it to take me to work in a quicker, cheaper manner than the car does. I guess other people do too.
Will those buses you propose do that? Will the people of Bowburn, Coxhoe and Shotton get to work quicker and cheaper than they would in the car? Will your buses tick enough boxes to attract people from their cars and justify the investment you propose?
