the start of the ruin came over 40 years ago when local municipal operators were dragged into the PTE. The next phase was the 1986 deregulation. A few busy routes may have got better bus services since then, but if you were not on one of those "busy" routes, your service is usually a lot worse than you had in the "municipal" era - or non-existent in some locations.
