@jschwa1 @Tupp_ed agree too - and when it comes to services which aren’t going to be profitable (e.g. rural public transport) the ‘market test’ results in the service being scrapped even though its essential for the people who use it - just because it doesn’t make money. This is where public ownership is essential- those loss making services can be subsided easily either from taxation or the ‘profit’ made on busy urban routes.
@bearthatcodes @Tupp_ed We're not just talking rural public transport. Where I live (population c.35k) it is not possible to get to nearest large town (population c.78k) after 6pm nothing is available. They are only 8 miles apart
