You can, 0330 678 1535 is the number. It's at the bottom of the Tees Flex page, albeit quite hidden must admit.

SupermanExactly. Rarely used, generally empty, but money continues to be thrown.
Based on the Northumberland example, imagine how many buses this could pay for, that could provide all the same links, but on a timetable? 11 or 12 vehicles? It could probably be done with half of that.
TeesFlex literally competes with the existing bus network in East Cleveland, for example! It's an absolute waste of money.

It's only 9 vehicles all of that above and most those carry around fresh air aswell, especially the 58 and 19 shorts and a few of them don't run beyond 5pm either.

Teesflex isn't the problem, it's how it's advertised and the fact they've duplicated it in parts - the 1/2 should not exist at all, in particular. 

It's reasonable value for money imo as people would moan if there was a bus running to random villages carrying fresh air aswell.
