Stupid Bus

Post Reply New Topic

I cant drive, so I have to take the bus, and in my area the buses are so stupid and unreliable, they are always either 10 minutes late or a couple minutes earlier than wheen their supposed to go by my bus stop. Now I understand the being late because of traffic and all, but there is no reason why they should be earlier than the scheduled time. When they are a couple minutes early it makes me miss the bus. This has hapened many many tomes and although I have called the customer service number it seems to get me nowhere and they havent ever been able to answer my questions about why its early sometimes and then so late others. Today I was out at the bus stop 2 minutes earlier than the time it said in the book, and a bus that said not in service passed me and the actual bus never came. Wth?? So now Im thinking that was the actual bus they just didnt change the sign and passed me by for some reason.

With you there, it is especially frustrating when you have to change from one mode of transport to another - buses seldom adequately link up with train services and vice versa. Get to the stop about ten minutes before the scheduled arrival time to be sure, remember to signal the driver. Most of the time delays are caused by human error and traffic conditions, so most of the problems are simply out of one's control. But do file your grievances if the services and its providers are shoddy, it does count.

when I was riding I just got into the habit of showing up 15 minutes before because they were so unreliable, after a while they reformatted the system and then entire buses stopped coming at time up to 6 were missed, I bought a bicycle at that point, still ride it and have not been on a bus in well over a year.
