🐝 Bee Network 🐝 Rochdale Interchange | April 2024

Quite like the idea of bus franchising, but I wonder how does the companies make profit then? Do they all get a even share or just still depends on the income from their routes?

[@glitchFan2428]

I believe they are paid a pre agreed amount to run the services and the profit is that amount minus the operating costs. Please correct me if I'm wrong

That BYD electric E400EV already hoovering at start of video 😮

[@glitchFan2428]

Apparently they have to make some noise to alert people of their presence 🥴

[@UKOnboardBusTravel]

@glitchFan2428 odd. Here in Leeds, they don't hoover (First Leeds E400EVs for Park & Ride) neither do the rest of the electric bus fleet - Wrightbus Electroliners both GB Kites and StreetDecks and the Yutong E10s. Only the diesel StreetDecks hoover 🤷‍♂️. The electrics are meant to be quiet.

Yep .. i think bee network should properly follow London scheme by making double door buses permanently compulsory.. just like in London. Manchester is a big city now (2nd/3rd largest) and would definitely benefit with all buses being converted to two-doors instead of one! Look at the busy congested services like the 142/143 or the 192 .. it’s disgusting how busy they get at times
