Regardless bus drivers have a job to serve the public. U may get one extra day on a 7 day ticket but that onky compensates Xmas day and not lack of service Xmas eve and boxing day

If you were to read the small print regarding megariders, it clearly states that passengers are given 2 extra days for Christmas and 1 extra for new years. If you really need to be in the thick of it during the Christmas Eve rush hour shopping then you need to get your finger out sooner. During Christmas eve, the biggest issue wasn't the passenger numbers but other traffic either waiting in a queue for some type of bargain or parking in the most rediculous parking place thus blocking us from getting past or dropping off passengers. e.g. Maxwells corner opposite Argos in Stockton on the bend going out of town....REALLY And that doesn't include the near misses of stupid pedestrians walking out in front of you. ( mostly pensioners ) As drivers WE TAKE NOTE.
