Manchester continues on the road to Nirvana with news that it will spend £10.5million to progress its plan to introduce a contracted bus network throughout the conurbation.To recap, in 1986 the buses were operated by GM Buses, owned by the PTE, and competition evolved with about 50 participants, including at one stage Merseybus. When GM Buses was split in two, GM North was sold to First, GM South to Stagecoach, which adopted a cheap fares policy including Magic Bus and virtually doubled patronage while First kept fares higher and patronage slowly declined.
