This daily announcement is getting way too familiar for my liking.

Imposing a fine on the operator for delays and their incompetence would not help the matter at held. The operator is de facto nationlised, so it is a case of left hand paying the right hand.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. Management should be overhauled immediately and made accountable to the public. Equally, the regulator should be held responsible if it fails to ensure operational standards are maintained by the operators.
