I think operators, DfT, Local Authorities need to be really careful what they do before BRG runs out as this is the first time since 2019 there have been a sustained period no restrictions. I know of offices which are returning almost full time after the Sunmer and the DfTs own stats show bus use is increasing. Is that enough? only operators know.
On some days, use is very close to 100% of pre-pandemic levels and tracking higher than London. I just hope an inadvertent rug isn't being pulled just as we are going to see a mini bus boom as folk are priced away from cars and higher bills from home working.
Standees all the way down the saloon.
But on your other point, it would be ironic if certain operators were to 'pull the rug' and miss any increase in numbers.
