(24 Jul 2025, 8:32 am)R852 PRG wrote A curious observation from the Metrocentre this morning was a rather gormless looking Operations Supervisor from a competing business who made a point of wandering up to the north end of the interchange, beyond any of their own vehicles on stand, to check out both the X22 and X43 to very conspicuously note down passenger numbers.
Nothing really unusual, been happening for decades, northern used to do the same to Redby etc.. and busways used to do the same to catch a bus and Redby etc…. Then run the independants out of business , or buying the bus services, and probably not helped with the bewildered spineless corrupt government pricing out the independent bus companies running costs probably would happen more these days if there weren’t many independents left in business with the big players carving the areas up then reducing services and raising prices
