JCJC Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Will you help with some research please? I would like your views on South Yorkshire buses from your experience (a few quick words would be very welcome) if you don't mind. Comments can be anything about buses - a certain bus route, last time you took a bus, fares or passes, the bus companies, timetables, general comment, whatever ... The idea is that replies will be used in material for "We Want Our Buses Back" and will be made anonymous by using just initials, or 'anon' if you prefer. Thanks very much if you have a moment to help in this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 IMO there are too many busses on the roads, they clog up the roads for car users and create jams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alien Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Last time I used a bus it cost 10p from town to woodhouse. Never anticipate using them again. Big and usually empty. Big and mostly smelly. From what i've heard...far to expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickscape Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Overprice for a day pass at £4 when the tram is cheaper but doesnt go where you need it to. Usually on time, seats are too cramped for taller people and have to occupy seats meant for the elderly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04jessops Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 For anyone who hasn't done lots of research beforehand, using the buses in SY is extremely complicated. Just a simple timetable (with lots of errors) at a bus stop is not very helpful. There should be maps at every stop along with full timetables and fare information. If buses were more accessible for people, maybe more people would use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsid2000 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 First are pretty bad. They are often late or missing. They are frequently cold in winter. The seats are too small for an adult to sit on in any degree of comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
