That's the thing. The press can try to spin the news to be super negative. But if the riders get the info from the source and if it's an actual positive for the majority of riders, the news media is going to have a problem getting those negative opinions from riders to "complete" their reports.

The media already is spreading the service CUTS and SEVEN MILLION DOLLAR budget DEFICIT flash words.

I can see this type of scenario for illustration purposes only:
Veolia First:
NICE/Veolia to riders:' We're reducing the frequency of buses on the n73,74,78,80,81 and we're going to use the the left over buses to add limited/express service on the N4, N20, N22 and N24.
Riders: 'That's Great!
News:'How do you feel about the proposed service cuts?
Riders: Please, no one uses those routes. I, however am tired of getting passed by crowded buses.

News media first:
NICE/Veolia to News Media:' We're reducing the frequency of buses on the n73,74,78,80,81 and we're going to use the the left over buses to add limited/express service on the N4, N20, N22 and N24.
News: 'Things are looking anything but nice for Nassau County bus Riders. NICE will be CUTTING service on FIVE bus Routes! They are looking to fill a HUGE SEVEN MILLION dollar DEFICIT , after 2 months of service. NICE says some routes might see a slight increase service....
Riders:' How can they do this to us! I knew this whole thing was a huge mistake! They don't care about us! I use the N22 every day! How am I going to get to work!?

That's how it usually goes, no?
