COMMON ARGUEMENTS

Government Vs Operators:

Bus operators are stubborn, they never agree on anythingThey have no idea how this business worksThe complain all time, although they earn big moneyThey never want to invert on new buses or technologies

Bus operators Vs Government

Administration of transport authorities changes all the time and we have to deal with new people that know nothing about transportWe have 30 years in the business, they know nothing about itThey never give to us enough informationHow can we make investments if they don’t raise the tariff?
