Surely pull 2 or 3 buses from the current fleet and claim that is the additional services provided, or call the premium services!
did the public see the increasing trend of bus operators, claiming to provide a premium services,ie FFW or express, but in actual fact just reduced the freq of the basic trunk services during peak hour! and replace by this FFW or express service.
