I do like though how he is pushing this yet 2 operators have blamed MyTicket (the child all bus, all operator ticket) for their demise. Notice how he misses that out which proves that significantly more subsidy would go into this.


He also fails to mention how the many, many cross border routes would come into this given many are probably about 1/2 mileage either side of the border and in most cases, the cross border buses are ones which form a key part in the bus network in the Merseyside part (For example Chester - Liverpool 1 is also a core local bus service between Eastham and Liverpool, it's generally not duplicated in full (duplicated in parts but the 41/42 divert off the 1/X1 route at various points).


He's an absolute clown. Just copying Burnham because Burnham seems to be getting popular amongst the looony lefties (not a dig at all Labour voters, just the extreme grass eating snowflake ones who essentially dislike any private company making any profit.)

I just gave saveaways as an example which is why I said the likes of , yes he is copying Burnham. Rotherham never has ideas of his own.
