From memory, the pilots were going to organise into a collective to improve conditons. Whther that came off or not, I;m not sure but From what I read and understood, the company made it more attractive to crews by increasing renumeration and rostering practices, from what i gather. I think they also streamlined progression in the company. As far as I can tell, it had the desired effect.
So far as the bus is concerned, I forgot about that option. I just have the image stuck in my mind of many times watch crews, in full uniform with flt bags and o'night bags in tow, walking to the terminal in 40degree heat
