It is a bit of strange one as the Arriva part tendered services are showing up as part of the scheme (such as the 19, 247 and 263) even though they are part of the GM £2 fare limit:
   

...yet Stagecoach Manchester have only done it for services that go outside of the GM border:
   

Does that indicate that the Government scheme has a greater return rate for each journey made in comparison to TfGM, but is extra workload that Arriva see's it worthwhile whereas Stagecoach doesn't?
