@pikesley @Thebratdragon @anon_opin Yes, I have considered that and agree the heck out out it. But I don't see how to fix it.
@mike @pikesley @Thebratdragon @anon_opin the right people just have to want it. After that it’s quite simple, the council buys some busses and starts running routes. For extra value the council says to the current operators they’re going to do so, and asks if those operators fancy selling their busses and cutting their losses before their routes are abandoned because they cost 10x as much and run worse.
@jon @pikesley @Thebratdragon @anon_opin "The right people just have to want it. After that it’s quite simple." This is true, but not really useful, It's lile saying "To prepare a cheetah casserole, you just have to catch a cheetah. after that it's quite simple."
How can we make the right people want it? I don't see a straightforward route to this.
