Bank Holiday Services
(28 Aug 2022, 12:53 pm)Adrian This is one of the reasons the industry will always fail to be an attractive option for people travelling.I definitely think certain services, 20,21 (especially), X21, 65(even tho its just been reduced whenever i've used it its been busy on Sunday), 50, 4, X10
Retail, leisure and work patterns have changed, but largely there's been a failure to adapt to them. Most town and city centres are now becoming leisure hot spots, as traditional retail is declining. This should be easy picking for bus operators, because unlike retail, people going out for food and drink generally (or I hope!) don't take their car.
Yet for many, its not worth the hassle of taking the bus on a Sunday or Bank Holiday. Frequencies are dire, demand outweighs capacity on key routes, and its generally a frustrating experience.
