@ Fozz.
You should have a read of the QCS thread when you have a spare few days.
It is quite enlightening to see the flaws of deregulation and the effects it has had.
As for your question, yes - QCS will open up the market for smaller operators, just as the current NexusBus scheme has.
@ Dan.
Without QCS, competition is limited. With QCS, there will be no competition.
