No promises are made about operation of buses or availability of seats, this free service is what it is. Please do not bring drinks on board or consume food on board, this is to help us maintain a safe, clean and pleasant environment for all.

I dislike that part.

I dislike that part.

I believe the disclaimer part is designed to manage expectation. The buses will run and you won't get stranded but they could be oversubscribed or late - but it's a free service so you can't really complain.

Last year the festival attracted about 10,000 people and the buses were rather busy for much of the afternoon!

Free service means it's paid for by the ticket/beer price meaning the paper work of registering a public service isn't required.
