I'd hazard a guess there's 2000 people on the estate and at £2 a pop, it doesn't take long to hit the £200k you mention, even if only a quarter of the residents use a bus.
Assuming (here I go again), the bus takes them where they need to be.
I'd love to know the cost of the delays if they didn't use the bus and stuck with the car. Herrington Burn and Shiney Row roundabouts will be absolute chaos and there's no amount of bus priorities going to fix it.
Now there was a place!
Spent many an hour in there back in the day.
One estate with 500 homes is not going to generate enough revenue to cover the cost of even one extra bus to serve it, nevermind multiple buses to other different locations. Great Park has been built for over a decade and not a single service is fully commercial.
