The fact is it could be yellow, pink, green, whatever. If its got seats, wheels and moves. The passengers don't care.
And B&Q use diy.com. What is your point?
If you bothered to look the website is titled simplygo.com - the home of Go North East. The massive logo at the top is GO NORTH EAST. It tweets as GNE. It advertises as GNE, it facebooks as GNE. It's GNE!
City of Oxford Motor Services = Oxford Bus Company. So that's changed
Wilts and Dorset = Go South Coast - so that's changed too
Metrobus only formed from the collapse of Tillingbourne.
Plymouth City Transport = Plymouth CityBus
Brighton, Hove and Preston United Omnibus Company to Brighton Hove and District Omnibus Company = Brighton And Hove
Blue Triangle - Go Ahead London
So none of those keep their 'historic' name
I personally couldn't give a monkey's chuff what it's caused. I just wish they'd pick a brand name and stick to it.
Agree with your point about domain names though.
