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).

The Mon-Fri P&R service is 6 buses per hour from the first bus until 18:00
and every 20 minutes thereafter until end of service at about 20:00. That in
detail is the 99 (Green, Milton P&R to Babraham Road) but others are similar.
