woodmally Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yet again a fictitious headline from the esteemed organ Sheffield Star. This time saying buses are running on time now. Yeah righ! http://www.thestar.co.uk/business/sheffield-buses-are-now-on-time-say-operators-ahead-of-public-meeting-1-7751576 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteMorris Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Well in fairness. It's not the Star claiming it. It's the bus operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy C Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My experience is buses are now generally on time - when they aren't battling against traffic congestion, badly parked cars, obstructed bus lanes, unenforced bus gates, roads blocked by bin lorries etc - all of which are the council's responsibility.

dutch Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My experience is buses are now generally on time - when they aren't battling against traffic congestion, badly parked cars, obstructed bus lanes, unenforced bus gates, roads blocked by bin lorries etc - all of which are the council's responsibility. I have seen buses being late more because they are fuller and it often takes twice as long to get passengers in. The drivers have to work much harder and I have seen one go the wrong way on the route and another one forget to stop when someone had pressed stop request. It looked more like this happened due to work stress on the drivers, I don't blame them for this happening it is not their fault all the pressure is thrown at them to make more and more profits.

Fudbeer Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My observations. 86 runs much more on time than before and is usually live on next bus. The 85 is hit and miss and often empty! The roads are much quieter in the day so you would expect more to run on time There still seems major "bunching" in the day this week the 86,76,75 and 98 which all run along London rd and Abbeydale rd were struggling to pick up passengers at the same stop on High Street.

Hopman Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 In the sports section they say that an Owls player has cost twelve million pounds. What's that got to do with buses? Unless he's going to become a coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1295galaxy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Not enough buses after 6.00p.m so shift workers finding it harder to get to or home from work,before the changes you could get too and from work more easier,i bet some people have lost the jobs since the changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
