It is when routes are made better at the expense of others which annoys me the most.
There is the example of the 27/27a and X2 mentioned on the forum as well as countless others.
Maybe it could be argued the 27a wasn't profitable enough. But rather than axe it and send the vehicles onto another route, work out some sort of compromise and offer an alternative - even if it is half as good or frequent.
The X2 was obviously generating enough demand, because services still fulfil the sections of route left behind when GNE wanted to send the vehicles elsewhere.
Or, they just fancied increasing buzzfare sales...
There are countless other examples and as pointed out, these core routes don't always go where people want to go.
As for the route suggestions comments/complaints, if people don't like them or appreciate them, then as with other areas, there is no-one making them join in.
They create conversation, they generate a smile - whether someone cobbles something together off the top of their head, comes up with a totally un-realistic suggestion or spends time investigating the PVR, so what, let people get on with it and put forward their ideas for discussion.
If they think a route would work, expand, question, discuss, justify and explain.
Isn't that what a forum is for - to discuss?
