| Comment | It's because they refuse to adapt their payment system, I use a national entitlement card due to disability, and it takes for-fucking-ever to process the ticket, on the bus, take out the card, put it on the scanner, wait 3 seconds, then it goes beep, then the driver, types shit in, and it prints out a piece of paper with a McDonald's ad on the back, an actual piece of paper, in 2019, think of that, add that up for passengers that are mostly elderly people, then it's no surprise the buses are always late, and right next to eachother (I call mine the 267 twins cos there's always two of the fuckers at once, which means you need to wait 20 minutes for the next one).
They spend all their money on paint jobs for their buses that no one cares about, which leaves none for an oyster card system with build in discounts which you can apply for online, or I dunno, an app, that actually tracks the buses, doesn't just predict based on timetables, that would be nice, but how long will that take? Fuck knows. |
