If there's ever a reason for privatisation then this is it.

I've never worked in anything bus related but no-one sane and I mean no-one is going to walk for 10 minutes to catch a bus which sits in the EXACT same traffic as you would driving straight into work.

Intact you might actually sit in LESS traffic since you'd use Scotswood Road or alternatively the West End rather than the Redheugh Bridge.

Absolutely clueless idiots and to make it worse it's blowing the bus 'improvement' fund aswell - mind I'm unsure what they're exactly paying for. Yet again more incompetence.
