TitleFirstbus are the worst bus company ever.

Im so sick and tired of being late to work.

Today I left the house at 12:25 to get the bus due at 12:49, it was early and I ran down the street waving my arms, the driver shrugged as he drove passed me less than 50 meters from the stop (this is at 12:41, him being 8 minutes early).

The next bus due at 13:00 didn't show up, app says its due but its showing on the map as at least 5 minutes away. 1:14 nothing, the bus shows as close but then a 38 labelled Eastwood Toll drives passed me, im waiting for Newton Mearns, that was the bus apparently. Bus due at 13:20, doesnt show up til 13:32. Im supposed to start work at 13:00 as in be in my uniform ready for work at that time .

This story is my reality usually twice a week out of the 3 late shifts I do. I should be able to get the bus at 13:00 to get in work close to my start time but its always late so I get the 1 before to givee plenty of time but more often than not its very early. I have tried leaving my house at 12 or 12:10 to make sure i catch it but the walk to work is an hour and a half long, I feel like I shouldn't have to make that kinda comparison when im paying £115 for 10 weeks of travel and walking is a better option when the bus is supposed to be every 20 minutes.

Im not alone in this, I regularly meet people at the bus stop whos complaints are similar, I met a guy who was on his last warning for being late which is caused by busses not appearing . With Firstbus the rule is get the bus 2 before the 1 you need, otherwise you are at a risk of being late.
