Yes, I fear that buses are precisely what's being cancelled.

To (not really) clarify: there has been some negative change and/or
confusion within the local organisation.  For the part that's relevant
here, the global team spent months at the start of the DebConf11
process saying that shuttle buses would be difficult and rather
expensive to arrange, because people arrive at different times over a
week, not all together.  Eventually we gave up saying this, as we were
told it was no problem to arrange and would be paid for by direct
sponsorship, whatever was needed.  Yesterday it seems they looked at
the arrival times, and realised that it would be difficult and rather
expensive to arrange.

I can't say anything about the budget issues you're mentioning, but your mail mentions arrivals, which are indeed dispersed over the week.

Most of the departures OTOH are on the 31st and even gathered around two or three specific timeslots (and I don't think people will mind waiting at the airport with fellow Debianites).

I'm also worried, at least for the 31st, that we might overflow the buses — which would be esp. bad since a possible congestion might mean lost flights.

Faidon
