I don't have objections to the concessionary passes. I'm saying that on routes which almost all run very frequently how are the passes actually keeping the routes afloat. All around the UK, operators are cutting back 'pass routes' because they don't get enough reimbursement. How then can BT run buses every 15 minutes when (from my observations) most of the buses are quiet and those onboard have passes.

Not quite. Blackpool Transport's target is to have no buses which are over five years old in the fleet by 2020 - not that buses would be replaced once they reach five years old
