I think you might be right, but just because that's the way it is doesn't mean it's a good thing. It's hiding a deeper issue.
People quite probably limit themselves to a daily / weekly ticket that covers the one bus company they absolutely need, and just make do with that. I think lots of people actually have to plan their lives around which buses and trains they can or can't take - especially if they don't drive (which half of Glasgow doesn't. "I can't apply for that job... it's two bus trips away on a McGills and a First." "I can't go to X weekly event because there's no train, and it means getting two buses". Etc. People just adjust their lives and do without.
Anyway, my point is that people are probably self-regulating in regards to what modes and providers of transport they limit themselves to. It shoudn't have to be like that. People should be able to travel wherever they need, whenever they need, within their home city by whatever public transit means they need, under one ticketing regime. |
