Reversing the decline in passenger numbers
Reversing the decline in passenger numbers
I went from home to Gosforth park last night in the car. used just under 8 quid in petrol. To use the bus I would have to walk 1/2 mile to bus stop, wait in the cold for the bus. Get to town. Hopefully not have to wait to long for a 43/44/45 and of course hope I got a seat at peak time. then do it all in reverse but after 6 pm I only get the option of 1 bus per hour home so would have to have fingers crossed that I'd get to town for that. And the cost of a day rover to do this? I think its about 7.80?
Who in there right mind would use the bus for that journey when it costs roughly the same??
If they want more people to use the bus, as I've said before they need to use carrot method rather tan stick. Make using the bus cheaper!
