I remember once a Glasgow MSP claiming that GLA handled 9 million passengers a year - as I'm sure you would be the 1st to tells us this is absolute rubbish - but nevertheless the figure was quoted to advance that particular parliamentarians views.
As I think the saying goes - "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics"
