Unless something really unexpected happens, it is almost certain that the proposed franchising of the bus network in Greater Manchester will happen as planned. Consequently, all current bus operators have a vested interest in ensuring that they are involved if they wish to continue trading. As for First being forced to offer one of their buses for display in the new colours, I would suggest that First can see the writing on the wall.

System one travel has been around since the dorn. It sells multi operator, multi mode day, week, month and annual tickets which are available very easily.
I’m a driver in Manchester and sell loads of S1 tickets, infact some smaller operators only sell S1 day and weeklys and don’t bother with their own.
