(14 Feb 2014, 11:30 am)Dan wrote A kid this morning got on the 23 and said, "Do you go to Southmoor school?"
The driver responded, "I don't know."
The kid explained how it was just before Grangetown, and the driver still had no idea - the Nexus dude stepped in and said, "Yes you can get on this bus."
Assuming there are rotas of sorts whereby drivers are usually found on the same group of services, I really think not knowing ticketing options or places served en-route is ridiculous.
That doesn't just happen on ANE services coming into unknown territories
Asking for singles to 'the new houses just over Fatfield Bridge' (they're over twenty years old) or having to explain where Biddick Woods is, has been a regular occurrence over the years.
Mind, tell an ANE driver you want to get off at The Majestic and they know exactly where you mean!
