Ian Hignett How do you suggest that the buses get through the congestion then? - Fly? Like · 2 hours ago
Helen Ireland if they know this is the problem then y not put extra busses on. if I had to get a different bus & pay or a taxi wud I b compensated for this? I bet not! Like · 2 hours ago
Ian Hignett 1. They cannot predict traffic congestion as it is variable and 2. What good would putting extra buses on do, except for increasing the congestion and that would be if they had any spares which is unlikely plus there would have to be extra drivers
and that would mean higher costs and further fare rises. Like · 54 minutes ago
Im guessing nothing came of the complaints made earlier this year?
No need for this from him, especially when it concerns kids - but nowt surprises me with this fella.
