Buses in general Reviews

I live in the West Midlands and I generally don't mind getting the bus to get around even though there are alot of negatives of getting the bus. ---------Expensive but Cheap-------- Every year bus fair goes up and every year I feel like I'm paying extortionate rates just to catch the bus especially being an unemployed ...  Read the complete review

As I live in North London and rarely travel past the river I cannot account for all London but I regularly travel around the North East to West spectrum on buses. It can be really hit and misses with buses in London. They are either going to arrive just as you are too and your journey will be floorless OR the more likely (or ...  Read the complete review

Buses in London, especially Central London are extremely inefficient and slow. The reason for this is excessive traffic and too many bus stops. Buses in central London literally stop every 100 metres. This so buses can be elderly and disabled people friendly. While not too expensive at £1 to go one way, often it is quicker to ...  Read the complete review

Firstly let's start with the price, if you remember the time when buses where 20p for a ride say I. It is now £1 with an oyster card (which is now £3) or a shocking £2 without. Night buses. Something like a nightmare (just that your awake), they come every 30-45mintues if your lucky (they seem to be more frequent in central ...  Read the complete review

The bus is my friend, the passengers are my foe! I've used buses incredibly regularly throughout the last two years as I've had to use them twice a day to get to and from Sixth form, and the fact that it's an hour each way means that I spend plenty of time travelling on them. My personal experience of buses has been ...  Read the complete review

As I've lived in the north west, the east midlands and now the south west, I've had a lot of experience of public transport, especially trains and buses. I don't have a car, so I rely on trains and buses to travel long distances, particularly when I need to go to Nottingham to visit my friends or Manchester to visit my family. ...  Read the complete review

After reading a highly amusing account of public transport, I decided to jot down my equally dubious experiences. This time on the London bus service. I moved down to London in 1992 to go to University, and happily due to the close proximity of my halls of residence to the campus (bang on the door step!) and the fact that I was ...  Read the complete review

For two years I travelled to work on the tubes, a journey of about an hour and a half each morning and evening that was absolute hell. For those who aren’t familiar with the District line, it’s the long green one that runs from Upminster to Ealing Broadway via Earls Court, and it's a nightmare – one of the slowest ...  Read the complete review

I hate buses and I hate bus lanes. Why would I want to give up my lovely warm car with it’s lovely loud radio for an horrible cold bus filled with miserable bedraggles poarpers? I can’t think of a reason. You get to your destination slower, your ricochet off the walls when you turn corners, you get to passively smoke an ...  Read the complete review

In the average city, the air outside a car or on a form of public transport is nearly 5 times as cleaner as that behind the steering wheel. And so to keep healthy and enjoy the city, this is the best option. We all know London is no ordinary city, with both good and bad points. the good points well outweigh the bad ones, but ...  Read the complete review

To be honest red buses in London are getting a little rusty and we don’t see too many new buses around but I have to say still they are one of the best means of transport in London. I have been using them for many years now. Although now a days I don’t use them very often as compared to my college days but still ...  Read the complete review

If you are looking to travel in to the University from York or Monks Cross this is the way to do it. They run an hourly service which runs from the university circular to Monks cross shopping precinct, via the town centre. The service is subsidised by the university so you will find cheap prices, ranging from 90p for a single from town, ...  Read the complete review

You might have noticed that Londoners love to moan about their public transport (and everything else, for that matter), but I think our buses kick ass. And before the accusations come flying, I’m not a bus-spotter and I don’t go out in I LOVE BUSES tee-shirts. I do however belong to one of those fantastic charities that let ...  Read the complete review

It?s 5.15pm and you have just finished work in the centre of Bristol. You managed to get a lift into work this morning because your car is in the garage with ?clutch problems?. You wait at the bus stop in silence for the number 51 bus or as its more commonly known ?the rattler?. Glancing around you see a bunch of sullen, emotionless ...  Read the complete review

The York Tour (the Green bus which is taking for sightseeing) is expensive compare with the same tour but for different bus company. And I also find it the bus drivers for that route is not honest enough as for the tourism, because I did ask them about is that the ticket possible to travel with other bus (the one with different company) ...  Read the complete review

For those of you that haven't read anything by me, I am student living in Manchester. Now being a student, I am regularly rushing to the bus stop to catch a bus to university to ensure that I don't walk in late to a lecture. I must admit that I have been amazed since coming to Manchester. Never before have I seen such an ...  Read the complete review

How easy it is to have a go at public transport, "give me the money and I will buy a car" seems to be everyones answer. Have they never looked at the congestion that we are facing on our roads? Do they not understand that the more cars that are bought the worse the situation is going to be? I am not saying there ...  Read the complete review

If you are lucky - and I use the word loosly - to live in an area that features countdown at the bus stops. Then I hope you agree that this invention must be the best idea in ages. For those who aren't so lucky, allow me to explain. We that travel on the tube are used to those electric signs giving you an ...  Read the complete review

I am currently at university in Manchester, however for most of my live I have lived in Huddersfield. Living in these 2 areas you can see vast differences in the quality and prices of bus's. In Huddersfield bus's came far less often, while this is easily explained by the fact that it is a much smaller town than ...  Read the complete review
