It's a business with little competition in a deregulated market and its primary concern is to increase profits for its parent company (DB). Arriva does not have to justify its fare structure to anybody, especially its passengers/customers. Unlike Tescos, Arriva's customer base cannot chose to 'shop' elsewhere.

We went from a publicly owned monopoly to a private monopoly effectively over a number of years , there now needs to be checks and balances to ensure we have a balanced effective bus network for everybody not just the few.
