You're probably right, but it depends what the scheme is supposed to achieve.

If it's just to help out passengers with a temporary lowering of fares, that's fine. But if we want to encourage greater passenger numbers and develop more sustainable growth in bus usage, then I suggest that with some thought, better things could've been done with the funds allocated.
