What is interesting is where the buses originate from and terminate. 
52 buses an hour and they're all from and to pretty much the same place. There's nothing there (without at least one change - probably involving another bus operator or the metro) from some of the more densely populated areas of North Tyneside.

Ditto Cobalt (). It looks impressive on the fancy spider map, but the majority of the services shadow each other or involve some sort of change between mode and operator. 

I used to witter on about Dalton Park and it being brilliant for public transport if you lived in Seaham...
Thankfully it is a little bit more accessible these days. 

There's so much more operators can do to make travel more attractive, than sticking in a table, a couple of plugs and some WiFi.
Improving the network and having buses go where people need them to go (particularly during peaks) will reduce the numbers of cars on the roads. 
It's not rocket science.

That’s the sum total of it in my opinion, every main working hun outside the city centre needs connections. I drive to Gosforth every day for work, would I rather drive and be there in 10 minutes, or would I rather get two separate buses?
