Haven't been on a bus for 25 years. I'm not sure what to expect and need some forum pointers.

For example, does one tip the bus driver and might some of the people be a little offensive 'on the nose'?

Thanks
Londis

you need to have EXACTLY the right amount for the fare, but have no idea beforehand a) how much it is, b) what ticket you even need and c) where you might actually want to get off the blasted thing.
It's like a quadratic equation with 18 variables ffs.

Make sure to pay with a £20 - the driver will be your friend for ever.

the amount of answers this thread took in a short time, no wonder public transport is expensive

I wish A. Darling put 7p on every litre of petrol like Thatchers did with cigarettes!

You add up the numbers on the ticket and that corresponds to the letter of the alphabet of the one you luurve

i once saw a group of townies get on, they asked how much it was then said its too expensive and theyd get a taxi instead. i think they thought it was 5p seeing as only poor people use them.

Just called my brother. He's a little more 'high street' than me and apparently it's five pounds return to Taunton.

Most disagreeable. Shall certainly take a taxi now.

Town centre Buses have changed a lot in the last 25 years.


Now all buses have internet access ,wi fi ... DVD players and Sky movies...on board meals and coffee served on the 34A into town ,aswell as reclining massage chairs .

No smoking anymore though

My other concern is that I live in a cul-de-sac and when the bus arrives it might be difficult for the driver to turn it round.

the advantage of a bus is you can walk about 50ft and get one, you dont have to phone up, have someone say "its a bit busy this morning" and wait half an hour.
By:
Mc Moonbeam
When: 11 Jan 10 21:51
no ... you just wait the half an hour instead :|
