(24 Jul 2020, 10:23 pm)Jimmi In terms of passenger numbers I imagine it would, realistically you want public transport to be simple and having buses leaving at different minutes past each hour is a pain in the neck, I stayed on holiday in Blackpool one year and the bus that ran from where I was staying ran on a 45 minute frequency and if you had no timetable to hand like I did most of the time, it was rather irritating to work out when the bus would leave by mid afternoon counting down from around 0930 I think it was. I arguably prefer an hourly frequency just as it's easier to work out especially when you're on holiday somewhere.
Aye, for the X21 I know that it leaves mine at around 15 and 45 past the hour. Or from Bishop it leaves pretty much on the hour or half past
One upside to the ticket acceptance with GNE and Arriva is between the X21, 6 and X1 I can pretty much leave the house anytime and get into Bishop.
Hopefully they figure something out post-COVID as it's quite handy being able to catch the 6, go to Cooplands and make it back for the X21!
