Im on my own here now so cant ask but assume they've been stung when traveling by bus and it not turning up. Like i've said before us enthusiast see bus travel differently to people who have to use buses to get from a 2 b. that's what they want to get to a 2 b whether is on a 70 plate bus or a 63 plate bus, whether is has NSA or doesn't have NSA whether it has wifi whether it doesn't etc etc

I don't understand why the choice offered has to be the least worst option though. Surely that is a factor in deterring people from using (or even trying) public transport?

Perhaps we need to do more to ensure that buses do turn up and they are well presented? There's still too much of an 'any bus is better than no bus' attitude in the industry, but that doesn't mean we should accept poor standards and the perception that public transport is filthy & germ-ridden.
