| Comment | Bus user here. I spend legitimately 15 to 20 hours per week commuting to my job 6 miles away because of the shit show of McGills and First. The timetables are lies. I stand there almost every day and watch as 3 scheduled buses don't turn up and I lose money being late for work and spend a good chunk of my 'free' time post work just standing waiting on a bus for 70 mins.
They won't ever change as they know people rely on them for work. They don't have any impetus to change. They say they have driver shortage but I don't believe them otherwise they'd be striking about forced overtime same as RMT.
The fact that this isn't a bigger issue being spoken about is fucking cringe. The transport infrastructure here is legitimately pathetic and I feel like there is zero interest in it from out councils or government beyond the new Net Zero branding on some buses.
Of all the things that make me miserable in life, this has far higher a place in the list than 'buses' should ever be. And rail isn't an option because its about 2.5x more expensive. |
