Bus Deregulation in Greater Manchester | East of the M60 It was supposed to have improved services through competition. There was even talk of drivers owning their own buses. Even fare levels were supposed to have fallen, as power moved from the monolithic PTEs and the National Bus Company to the little. How wrong they were, and how right were Greater Manchester PTE nearly 20 years ago. Between 1986 – 1993, there was plenty of competition between GM Buses (then a publicly owned Limited company) and the likes of Citibus, Bee Line Buzz Company and other PTE companies. Of course, there were some improvements to services, with some operators running minibus services via streets that tested the bigger buses.

Departing from Heidegger’s 1924 lecture “The Concept of Time” Brassier traces how the question ‘what is time?’ transforms into the question ‘who is time?’ Whatness corresponds to essence (Das Was), and essence (Ousia) is understood in turn as presence-at-hand (Vorhandenheit); being-present. Its two defining characteristics are 1) temporal specificity (Jeweiligkeit) and mineness (Jameinigkeit). In Being and Time Dasein’s being-in-the-world is the synthetic unity of the three ekstases of Dasein’s self-temporalizing: being-already, being-alongside, being-towards: ‘The phenomena of the “toward…”, the “to…”, the “alongside…”, make temporality visible as the “ekstatikon” pure and simple. “Dasein is time, time is temporal. Time-in-itself is meaningless since it would amount to ‘no one’s time’, so Heidegger finally surrendered in his attempt to and gave up on the ontological autonomy of Temporality in favor of Dasein’s temporal ekstasis. 6.2 Ekstasis and ekstema
