I hate things like this that are out of your own control.


Let's hope it doesn't have too much of an impact on you.

Do your customers have passes that they can only use for your company or do they generally pay cash when they get on.

Can understand why you feel the way you do about it. I hope it doesn't impact things too much for you so you can keep driving your bus route.

i attended the union meeting and learnt there that the other bus shouldnt affect my bus and they are only running it because one of their other services is axed

Don't worry. You may find that eventually it will attract many more people in to use the bus as people see the increased services and will be more willing to view bus travel on thatroute as a viable proposition.
