I'm not sure what their fine and bonus system is based on....exactly
how would you calculate a late train say...Queesnlander..running 20
minutes late*****Hijack Vic/NSW thread to Queenland*****how much fine
QR suppose to pay anyway??

Trams are subject to stupid car drivers that block the right of way,
traffic condition(route 8 example),  traffic lights ect. On top of that
endless march/protests on Swanston Street/St Kilda road.

...on the other hand Hillside/Bayside can say their bonus is not enough
as well....(but I can think of lots of things to do with Hillside's
1129600$ like: aircondition Hitachi/extend the shopper express to
city/upgrade the track to allow faster journey/early delivery of their
new trains/free timetable to customers for Hillside).
