(5 hours ago)Rob44 wrote Can anyone answer me this. As an operator which is better a bus carrying 5 passengers at £5 a head or a bus carrying 50 at £1 a head. seems oblivious but is it really?
I assume there's a maths error here as the 50 people is an extra £25 and was supposed to be 10 for £5 or 50 for £1?
More money is always better.
10 for £5 over 50 for £1 though imo. It's easier to drop the price than increase the price if you wanted to try and grow the routes. It's very likely you'll have 50 passengers if you dropped the price, it's very unlikely you'll have the 10 if you increase it as people will be pissed off.
