Sounds great.

Won't have any impact though...they'll just reopen under a new name within a couple of days and people will still use them to travel because they're the cheapest option they have...

This time may be different. The Head-Honchos have been banned from operating in the passenger transport business.

Time will tell.

I'm sure that'll just mean they'll have either a spouse front it, or some other family member as a lacky.

Hopefully not, because some of these outfits are really quite shady and scary to drive past....but I don't see them being completely gone.
