Where are our 15% increased services for 2011??

[Mr X]

Seeing as us mere mortals are slugged 15% extra pa on ticket prices,  surely we should be getting 15% improvements?? One can only hope!

I think we should do a seat or service tracker and see if the increases are 15%. Are we getting 15% more bus seat journeys? Are drivers getting a 15% wage rise? Are trips 15% quicker??

And if the ticket price is going up 75% in 4 years, surely the TL subsidy must be dropping more than 5% from 75%...! We're not seeing it in services. 15min train frequencies anyone?

The 15% annual (and ongoing for 3 years) regular fare increases are to reduce the State Government's subsidisation of public transport.

Yep I said that, it's dropping 5% down from 75% to 70%
But surely it must be dropping more than that if we're paying 75% more on ticket prices?
