Either way though, there should be a rule you actually have to see it as anyone can go listing stuff off Bus Times which isn't interesting or needed even if it was actually 100% reliable (which it isn't).

Not the beginning?

That would just help public transport a lot.

Can window dress but if the reasons why people aren't using public transport aren't addressed, then the cycle continues even with the threat of fines or charges etc.

Is this a change or just due to the lack of single deckers?

Perhaps we should have split rare and odd workings, one for bus times reporting and one for actual.
(24 Jan 2023, 6:42 pm)Unber43 wrote You're acting like half of them are false tracking.Not acting like anything. I simply made a comment that perhaps as others have suggested real rare workings are logged separate to those that come from Bustimes.
Its probs like 98% are true or smth. There is probably only a couple which are false tracking and were out today.
And with Washington & Deptford both seem to be struggling for buses it would be more than possible, and that some Washington buses apparently go to Deptford on an evening.

Hopefully the February changes include putting the 39's back to normal frequency, I take it the 8 will stay hourly permanently, since its not part of the changes this weekend?
