Well the industry is changing, the new Translink bus contracts are rumored to only offer a fairly small profit margin providing the companies can meet all the KPIs. So I guess some operators will now want out and have a contract sell, Translink operators since 2011 have been running on emergency contracts. TAG won't have much trouble selling there operations, though some of the smaller Translink Operators may have more difficulty selling with the small profit margins these contracts offer.
