Doesn't work like that, which is arguably the problem. GCC doesn't dish out routes. It's an open market with limited regulation.
The city has a plan to move to a franchise system which works like you're suggesting, where the city designs the overall network, livery, routes, pricing model, etc. and allows companies to bid to run parts of it, like TfL's buses. Scot Govt's been slow in passing the final legal steps but the word is GCC will *technically* have legal power to do it from next year.
Having the finance to do it quickly is another matter though.
If you want to do something about it, follow and support **[Get Glasgow Moving](https://www.getglasgowmoving.org/)**, who had a big hand in the law getting changed in the first place and are pushing for more to be done quickly. |
