The other press release "BUS SERVICES TO RECEIVE $75.6 MILLION" should
mean that bus services recieve an appropriate upgrade (it specifically
mentions improvements to weekday evening and weekend bus services) .
All I want to know is exactly when we will recieve the upgrades.  Even
if only $10m (of the $19.5m for metro & country buses) goes to
suburban buses, that should mean quite a substantial upgrade,
especially given that many bus companies seem to have a lot more buses
than they actually use in reguar service.
