Of course people are going to choose the bus that arrives over the one that doesn't, but why does this have to be the choice on offer? Like I said above, why can't we have buses that turn up and buses that are well presented. The two options shouldn't be mutually exclusive. 

Oh and Sapphire had started losing it's sparkle long before the pandemic.

Because we keep getting told that all the bus companies as skint! Like i say maybe arriva see getting a bus on the road in OK, maybe not ideal condition, to get their customers from a 2 b where other just think oh well cancel that bus?? People will be moan next about the destination screen of a GCT bus not working and just having a bit of paper in the window saying 42a but forgetting at least it arrived to take you to where you want to go.
