Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising

RE: Liverpool City Region Bus Franchising
What competition on Merseyside? Since Arriva and Stagecoach operate QBPs there is no competition on main corridors - most passengers get whatever bus turns up first. The only thing that really needs improving there is the more even spacing of departure times on some services and bringing all ticket types in line with being valid on these services. For the most part what the LCR say is just fluff, the current stock on the 10A is not the problem with the route - the new buses will not solve the issues that exist. Liverpool City Centre is an absolute mess for buses which has not been oversaw by the private operators but rather your very bus unfriendly local council which will not change any time soon since this city is rooted in voting for a labour council which has been wholly inadequate for years.
