Apparently passenger numbers have steadily fallen since January and the slashed day and weekly tickets was a last ditch attempt to buy them another couple of months - but even this failed.
If they have been rescued how are they going to entice passengers onto thier buses??

TfGMs take on this really annoys me. They have apparently known about JPT ceasing since the beginning of this week yet have publicly claimed to know nothing about any problems at JPT. Why is there such a need to keep passengers in the dark.

Good point and yes I am also wondering is this just a sticking plaster over something there long term won't go away, can JPT run at a profit, and begin to make money bringing passengers back on buses. Standards have fallen for years untidy unkempt buses, drivers not in uniforms, as has been said previously doesn't not look professional on and off the buses for this company's image. Don't get me wrong it's good that the company have been rescued, whoever has rescued them! I cannot see them just throwing money away, on a struggling bus firm.
