Andy C Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 This as been the First 1a buses times this week up to now,as i catch this bus at Newfield Green to my works place in Ecclesfield,as on the bus shelter it tells us the time the bus should arrive 5.10 am,late by 5 minutes Monday so just got to work at 6.00am,Tuesday waited till 5.20am but no bus in site,so walked up to East Bank Road to catch any bus to town,then the bus came and the bus driver told us the correct driver did not turn up,so was late to work,Wednesday came a 5.15am and the Driver drove faster as he knew he was late.Today bus on time,then get to Barnsley Road then the Driver got off the bus for a Smoke and a look at is phone,then got to Firth Park and he looked at is phone again,and got to work on time,this just shows Why they are so many people driving cars as there is no Trust in out Bus Services in South Yorkshire You mean the bus reached the timetabled stops early so waited until the advertised time?

Guest busdriver1 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 You mean the bus reached the timetabled stops early so waited until the advertised time? Yes, a very difficult concept for some to grasp. The word 'bus' short for omnibus a latin word meaning "for all" Not just for me or you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 You mean the bus reached the timetabled stops early so waited until the advertised time? There are two concepts of time. One that measures it second by second. And a timeless momentary in the moment time that moves full of surprises mysteries. Our buses move along on that second concept of time. No matter how hard you try to keep moving it second by second all sorts of weird things can happen that influence the journey. Timetable can only be some rough aim, when a bus is used to move schoolchildren, some weird high person starts arguing with driver, or has to do job of two buses when previous bus wasn't there. Can only move with second concept even if you printed the timetable in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1295galaxy Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 The Bus driver knew he was a bit earlier than he should have been,so pulled the bus into bus stop outside the Car Hire place on Barnsley Road,got off the bus with cigarette and a phone in is hand,this can be very annoying when your trying to get to work at 6.00a.m in the morning,Friday we got a driver who never worked to is timetable and drove so slow and asked him to drive a bit quicker but refused to and was late for work by a couple of minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's "very annoying" if the bus is early so it waits? Surely you'd be very annoyed if it was early to your stop and you missed it because of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phili Buster Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It's "very annoying" if the bus is early so it waits? Surely you'd be very annoyed if it was early to your stop and you missed it because of that! And that is one of the problems, there are some drivers think they are Hamilton or Vettel until arriving at a 'timing location' when they stop for 5 minutes or so while the timetable 'catches' up. Just a bit unfortunate for the poor old passenger expecting the quarter to bus that hurtled past five minutes early at twenty to. To answer the thread's question, buses have timetables so you know when they won't turn up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) It's "very annoying" if the bus is early so it waits? Surely you'd be very annoyed if it was early to your stop and you missed it because of that! How can a bunch of electrons get very annoyed? Just accept it and keep to reality. We don't live in a fantasy world where buses go tick tock like your watch. Edited July 31, 2018 by dutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1295galaxy Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 When you arriving for Work nearly every day using a First Bus,can we make a Claim for some money back off the company,like Train customers can if they are late,First as got worse running the 1A bus from Heardings to Ecclesfield in the Morning and late to regular at Work,and do nothing to Improve it service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Trains shouldn't be affected by things like traffic..so it should be much easier to run to schedule...buses can get stuck just like a car or taxi...so wouldn't think you'd be able to claim..
