In Essex, it’s First territory, majority 15 year old buses, no WiFi, next stop announcements etc. 20 year old deckers on major services. Expensive, Old, Unreliable. GNE do good value tickets(a weekly ticket is more than 2x cheaper) and provide a good service. Fancy buses, that’s what customers want. London is heavily subsidised and don’t have WiFi and most don’t have USB ports. Businesses have to make a profit to survive. If GNE and Stagecoach did what London did, they’d be out of business.
Fancy buses are not what the industry wants. A bus to run on time is what the passenger wants.
