And the way the Public Transport Council works is as if they are the spokespeople for the transport companies. ALWAYS looking out for their bottomline!

They will shuffle the buses around slightly, and make it look like there are more short-trip buses. Eventually, we will revert back to the same bus services we have now. Only this time, the longer buses will be called branded "Premium" and cost you twice what you used to pay for the same route. Anyone wanna wager on this?
