More tendered services??!!

Which communities are currently unserved in the WM by services or ring and ride?

Operators should surely focus on busy routes with growth and profit potential like GNE and not let themselves be dragged down by no-hopers.

Often a far better level of public transport provision can be provided through simplicity and simplification.

Often tendered services designed by committes to serve everyone end up satisfying few.

As Peter Huntley said a while back the TAS in many instances produced far better networks with far less supported services. Worcestershire should be set to gain a far better level of public transport than currently.

Realistically we need to be better using taxpayers' money than on poorly designed services-in order to balance the books as a country.

Profit by the way isn't some sort of ugly word-it follows from a customer and growth focussed business that is socially aware and responsible and provides good quality service.

Wednesfield recruiting again,  according to Facebook.

Will there be any routes to work on the future?

I know...yet every time they launch a new route it fails miserably and gets withdrawn.

They may just be recruiting to replace leavers?
