You have written a lot about operators, but these go into the operator tag
on the relation, the network is more about fares I think: if you can use
the same kind of tickets it's the same network.
Cash and card can be used across the whole territory across different networks
To me, `operator` is the company that drives the bus (say, "Bus drivers
Ltd") whereas `network` targets the global entity/company/consortium for
the group of lines.
Generally speaking, a ticket bought on a network could be used on all the
lines of the said network (even if the `operator` is different) of course
following the network's rules.
An operator (O₁) can drive busses of two different networks (N₁, N₂). A
network (N₁) can have many operators (O₁, O₂). A user buying a ticket for
N₁ can use all of N₁'s routes.
In Geneva for example, we have three main networks: TPG, Noctambus,
Mouettes.
TPG routes are operated by: TPG, RDTA, …
Noctambus is operated by TPG
Mouettes is operated by SMGN
But then there is a "master" network: Unireso. If you buy a ticket from
one of Unireso's networks you can use your ticket on all of Unireso's
routes.
What do you think ?
