Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) representatives told the committee the cost of moving to franchising would be £22.5m but Cllr Harley was quick to dismiss their figures.
Cllr Harley said: “I am bitterly disappointed, Transport for West Midlands failed to mention future costs in the region of £80m which the seven local authorities would have to underwrite.”
Cllr Harley said the TfWM presentation failed to take account of possible falling income from decreasing passenger numbers which would leave councils having to fill financial black holes.
