Considering all operators have just signed up to a BSIP and now committing to working towards an EP, I think fare tactics like this may also be a rarity going forward.
The BSIP for example wants to rationalise the frequency on the coast road, essentially stopping the competition there and putting everyone into line.
It's a positive move, if it means the resource used to overbus places like the Coast Road, Cobalt and so on, is then reinvested in other parts of the network. Although I'd like to think that the BSIP would also see the benefit of simplified daytime, flexible ticketing and cheap evening fares, when trying to grow patronage across the network.
It's pointless having a BSIP if it just means more of the same but with more back-patting.
