Poor is probably the wrong word I used there. That’s the key if they run all journeys! Every 12 is ok, not really the turn up and go frequency of every 10, though a bus/es missing is more noticeable and can mean nearer to a 20/30 min wait.Every 10 minutes to every 12 is not poor at all... if they can operate all journeys that it.
In Leeds some of our core routes have gone from every 7/8 or every 10 minutes to every 15 minutes or worse in some circumstances.
Some areas that uses to have a great frequency (Ilkley to Otley for example) were going to lose their service entirely until the bus grant was extended.
Though buses every 12 mins in York probably reduces the congestion that some of the routes used to face. Another thing that probably makes it more noticeable is that due to route changes in the city centre over recent years, buses can be seen more often in other places. (I do find myself comparing the network to what it was like between 2006 and 2009) so obviously the changes will appear quite different.
