They are just happy the bus turns up TBH., I had the joy of brand new buses on the 44 in my younger days 251-258 nurthumbria then when arriva took over and the 44 reverted to newcastle to dinnington only we got loads of rubbish on the route, most ex London stack from what i recall. Did i stop using the bus because of it???
And dont get me started on the rubbish the was branded for bemish on the 28/28a/28b!!!
Without repeating storx, some will and some won't.
It will depend on how flexible they are with their own transport and what their specific needs are.
I know for a fact Mrs C wouldn't touch a bus for a commute if a weekend experience involved a trip out on a 20 year old Omnidekka.
