Hence why I said RT are recruiting journalists. You'd fit in nicely with your "I'm right and anyone who disagrees with me is very wrong" attitude.
It's the most criticised public transport system on social media, with the criticism coming from the people who use it. The new trams with very low seating capacity have gone down badly while there's no back up plan when things go wrong - telling people their tickets are accepted on local bus routes doesn't work as the local bus routes don't have sufficient capacity to carry the Metrolink passengers, while passengers usually get told to use local bus routes before the drivers get told to accept Metrolink tickets.
The last T68 has recently been withdrawn. West Midlands Metro are in the process of replacing their newer T69s so the Metrolink trams have lasted as long as any other second generation trams in the UK, even though they are being withdrawn early based on life expectancy of trams in European countries.
And yet it carries tens of thousands of passengers everyday around Greater Manchester, and is being expanded.

Such as ? I don't see any Pacers rattling into the metropolis every day.
The North has been starved of investment for decades and will continue to get a bad deal until all its towns and cities gets the level of investment seen in the south.
Maybe then the best idea is to remove regulated/subsidised fares up here and let the market send true price signals to the private investment market?
