I do not believe this is very likely to happen. What is more likely is the situation I described when discussing Amendment 12, where a commercial bus operator discovers at quite short notice that it is no longer making any money providing a comprehensive service to a town or a small city and proposes the wholesale withdrawal of those services in 42 days. This would leave the community with no viable services and, if we were to adopt Amendment 12, the local transport authority with no opportunity to replace them via a franchising scheme.
