Why is it that just sounds like bs.
Well the CCTV on the bus will soon sort it out,Southern Vectis CCTV is as clear as cameras get.
Yet they keep going on about people travelling by Bus
it’s good for the climate. Lol
Car for me, too many numpties are travelling on buses
thesedays.
Maybe they should run 2 types of buses.
1 for numpties and 1 for non-numpties.
“OBVIOUSLY THE NUMPTY BUS WILL BE FULL”
I bet the the island MPs and other so called
important island people won’t travel by bus!!
more “enrichment” of the island
