Is that because the orange paint is more expensive then red or blue? And almost 50% more per single ticket. No wonder customers are using private transport more.
Frequent services attract the twirlies.
Operators then benefit from the single fare system in place for reimbursement? Perhaps...
Meanwhile the ordinary punter paying single fares are shafted and are put off using the bus.
