Was it not his wifes employee that got the contract for the New Buses in Manchester she is the chief marketing officer of the firm Iduna Infrastructure. I believe got the Manchester contract you could say they got a back handed contract passed across the breakfast table. You can smell the corruption..
Iduna Infrastructure Ltd holds a long-term contract with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to operate and maintain the region's publicly owned electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, deploying and managing chargers under their consumer network brand, Be.EV

LOL all that will happen is, fares below £2 will go up, to cover fares over £2 coming down

Bus fares?? What about food, fuel, council tax, rent, interest rate, the cost of immigrants (yes folks, the word is immigrants, not migrants. Migrants suggests they will return. They wont)

That'll fix it when strategic long rural and inter town and inter county routes get axed as unecomic to run by operators.

My cousin was a Union Rep who was in meetings with him regarding this. He was not very complimentary about Burnham and didn’t have a good word to say about him.
@
He never uses a bus, this is peanuts 🥜 😳
