The Scenic City Council Contracts Out The Bus Routes In Scenic City To Various
The Scenic City Council contracts out the bus routes in Scenic City to various subcontractors based on a tender arrangement. Some routes, such as the Express to City routes, are profitable, while others, such as those collecting schoolchildren from remote areas, are unprofitable.
