If they appreciate the service that much, and if it is that important to them, they should learn to use it! Why Nexus is funding something that only carries a fraction of a person per day is beyond me?
Lack of knowledge? I have to say until I asked the travel planner at work (I used the bus to get my green bonus) I didn't know it ran and when she said TaxiBus I assumed it was a pre-bookable service or one that only concessionary holders could use. Maybe the people in the estate aren't aware it exists (though it looked as if most of them had cars anyway)
When this black Vauxhall van turned up with Gateshead Central Taxis on it I wasn't sure if this was a good idea!
