That is where the real fear is. The fear is that in advance of having the bus corridors, the NTA will make all of these changes and people will not see the benefits. They buy them in the case of the bus corridors, but it should not be suggested to them that they go halfway into town, get off and get on the bus that coming from the other direction when they have probably already queued for half an hour to get on the first bus and seen several go by. They are terrified because at rush hour in the suburbs heading into town it is difficult to get on a bus and when they are on it, they want to keep that seat.
