This is the sort of atiitude which should cause instant dismissal of any
bureaucrat who utters it.
It is saying, in effect, that the passengers are the servants of the system
rather than vice-versa.
If public transport is to be attractive - or even just if it is to provide the
most elementary of service levels - it has to take account of what
people DO in the real world, not what some petty-minded legalistic
bureaucrat sitting in an isolated office thinks they SHOULD do.
