| Comment | I get on and off on PRW 5 days a week at rush hour. I recently witched from McGills to First. Both have issues.
The apps list 'live tracker' timetables which are wrong. The buses change from due in 4 minutes to 50 minutes to disappearing completely then showing up in 12 minutes. Buses just disappear off the face of the earth. There is no attempt to alter the timetables to reflect reality. I regard wait 90 minutes on a bus after work but also sometime in the morning as well. 5 days a week. Getting to and from work is a part time job in terms of time cost.
First are marginally better than McGills but also a couple quid dearer, but foe that you can use different buses and not just the 38. Their app is much worse as well.
From my perspective and what I've heard divers say, its a shortage of drivers. They just aren't paying enough to keep people or get new ones in. They're diverting services for some reason to cover less busy routes it seems as well.
We need a nationalised bus service. Thankfully, this is now being discussed at the preliminary level.
Transport in Glasgow is an utterly fucking disaster unless you live and work on or near the laughably limited subway. |
