Operators get an uplift in BSOG if they fit smartcard-ready ETMs and live vehicle tracking which helps them to partly recoup the cost.
NESTI are funding the ETMs for smaller operators over a lease period I believe (hence the amount of operators using the Ticketer machines and back office functions).
