Yep, the 22 made a big improvement and increased patronage when Arriva doubled the frequency to half hourly. The perfect case study for investing in a route in an area where it would be appreciated.

I know I had more faith in it. If one didn't turn up, a half hour wait is less bad (and less likely to end in a taxi fare) than an hour gap.

I'm finding myself with a similar mentality with. The 64, now. I've been used to every 10 minutes. Now it's every 15 and some don't show up. I really cba for a 2km journey. I'll walk if it's not uphill and I'm not sore, or catch the first suitable service to get me up the hill to the hospital, then walk the rest.
