Sadly one thing we are stuck with where bus travel is concerned is that it just isn't financially viable to operate services just for a few passengers. It's a nice idea but then of the costings involved, drivers hours alone, wouldn't come anywhere near the odd few fares realised. Then we need to look at the safety implications of operating such services. Running vehicles into danger zones just isn't sensible in my eyes, one smashed window can cost a small fortune to replace, a life, I don't want to sound macabre, irreplaceable!
A Shame, and don't please,take this the wrong way those who wish / need to travel on an evening but these are the cold, hard facts we are stuck; a sad indictment of how times have had to change.
