[edit] Competition
As of 2006, Preston Bus has been experiencing competition from national operator Stagecoach through their north west subsidiary, formed in 1988 with the purchase of Preston based Ribble Motor Services, which had grown into the largest regional operator since starting in 1918. Competition has escalated into a bus war[1] with Stagecoach offering lower fares on the busiest routes.[2] The managing director of Preston bus is concerned that Stagecoach could force his company out of business.[3] Both companies have accused each other of unprofessional behaviour.[4]
