It may not be politically correct to mention it on this newsgroup, but the
bans are likely to

reduce patronage from marginal users - I stop using the system as soon as
cancellations set in..

establish a baseline figure for sale

demonstrate how few staff are needed to actually operate successfully

provide a rationale to speed=up the sales.

Doesn't the union realise that

there is almost no inflation now, so failing to settle costs members real
money

all failures to maintain 99% reliability (as in London and UK) will drive
the
system private
