Yup. It got quite a bit of media attention and support from politicians. It's ultimately what operators can blame for what kicked Bridget's big bus campaign off.

Yeah there's no doubt there will be qualified drivers. My point was more so that you can board a bus and be confident that the driver has had the additional PCV training and holds the qualification, where that you can't be when the vehicle operating the route doesn't demand anything but a regular car licence holder.
