about time
No.6 runs almost empty all day. Why no reduction on this service?
We have a bad service here with 2 busses 7 and 38, always full, both have been reduced again when you have service that runs empty (6) all the time. and there no service to places like porchfield and thornesbay areas.
Where’s SEAY with a comment? How’s that tarmacing going?
Good news for the drivers, they have families as well.
Bus routes 3 and 8 are going past my house at least hourly,using doubledeckers, 90% have no one on them. Maximum number I have seen is 2 people on any bus and bizarrely they were sitting one behind the other! Could easily reduce these services for the time being
