I arguably prefer an hourly frequency just as it's easier to work out especially when you're on holiday somewhere.
Aye, for the X21 I know that it leaves mine at around 15 and 45 past the hour. Or from Bishop it leaves pretty much on the hour or half past
One upside to the ticket acceptance with GNE and Arriva is between the X21, 6 and X1 I can pretty much leave the house anytime and get into Bishop.
Hopefully they figure something out post-COVID as it's quite handy being able to catch the 6, go to Cooplands and make it back for the X21!
