Yep, and it's difficult to control volumes.

The better solution would be proper infrastructure investment as part of the enhanced partnerships that are going to be forced upon regions.

With (most) operators now providing data to BODS, we should be able to get this information to passengers in the form of real-time info at all bus stops... not just how many minutes until your bus is due, but it should also be capable of noting delays on route or cancellations.
