There's buses in Nottingham with "up to every 8 minutes" written on
them. Which defies parsing.


Similarly the Cambridge Park and Ride buses with "up to every 10 minutes".


There's a "glass half full/half empty" issue with these claims.

I read them as "you'll always have to wait at least 10 minutes for a
bus", and it says nothing about how many tph they are offering (the
gullible assume it's 6tph of course).
