Arriva sell ridiculously priced tickets when I can pay £1.20 on GNE. And get a nicer bus and charge my phone rather being stuck on a old rattly awful leaking solo.
Arriva have managed to keep their network stable, GNE seem to have serious problems with managing that (even before Covid). I'd rather have a rattly bus turn up than no buses at all.
Only Arriva casualties were frequencies and a handful of duplicating/commuter routes such as the X16, X6 and X85.
