AIUI, from comments in u.t.l. by Colin Rosentheil and others, the
costs don't fall equitably on local authorities at present - in
particular, those that are popular holiday resorts or tourist
destinations end up paying for a lot of "out of area" visitors.
They are allegedly "not compensated enough" for those out-of-area
visitors. It doesn't seem very difficult to tweak the formulae a
little to take account of this[1], so the bad guys here are those
who don't want to do that.
I can't remember where it is but there is at least one council who
quite happily admits to making a profit on the current deal
Almost any council with few bus services. A local example is Fenland.
