Question:  Is this sort of thing happening to Bayside as well?

FYI, relevant reading about this sort of thing can be found at:

the Governments guarantees about the performance and reliability of public
transport.

The performance figures will sure make interesting reading, that is, if the
Govt is half serious about making sure that the data they collect is valid
