| Comment | Only problem is the weekly/monthly tickets are a must and the amount of time I get fucked over by firstbus I'd end up with a hefty discount on my tickets and they wouldn't make a profit.
End of the day, companies are alway going to run it for profit and the current situation is a win win for them. Lack of drivers means they basically just have to apologize and take full price on tickets while paying less wages.
It needs to be taken out of the hands of private companies I'm afraid, as do some other services. You cannot argue with people to get out of their cars and into a bus when the service is this poor because they will always run it in a way that means the most profit with the least cost. A transport system run by the public for the public would be the best possible scenario.
I start work at 7:30 and need to get the earliest bus on the route, on Sundays that bus isn't until 7:25 opposed to the weekdays 6:38, or fuckin 6:32 which they sometimes come at because fuck all stops apart from the timed ones seems to be the motto of their drivers. Imagine we had an affordable bus service every route every 15 minutes regardless of how profitable the route was. It would encourage less car usage and encourage people to take up jobs that require public transport port. |
