They’re even responding to customers publicly and the tone is actually spot on (though you can tell when it switches to someone else who isn’t very good at it)
Though if I’m being picky…don’t respond with ‘I’ on a social media account. It’s ‘we’. It’s not your fault the driver drove past a full stop whilst sticking the v’ s up. Different on the phone of course.
Now if they could just ditch the ridiculous 9-5 hours they’d be halfway to a good service

Personally, the tune is alright but surely a less cringe/more professional message could be used e.g. 'Get yourself on board'

I'm really unsure who it's targeting. You'd literally be better having a campaign with the most boring man standing in front of a white wall saying: This is a bus, it costs £2 single fare. Get on board.
Least the £2 actually advertises something.

What next?!

Mind, the last time someone tried to make a bus advert with it being designed to line up with passengers, it didn't go down quite so well... https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/a...be-removed
GNE furries likely.
