Bleep1673 1,791 Posted February 23 Report Share Posted February 23 15 hours ago, M j M said: Is this some sort of complaint about buses inconveniently running to time? There is no such thing as "On Time" around here, the bus company* have pulled the timetables from public view, and the drivers refuse to disclose when they run. This wasn't a complaint about running on time, but a complaint that the hidden tables seem to allow the drivers much more leisure time whilst supposedly working, if they have to take a newspaper, or a word search book out with them whilst driving, then there is something wrong with the tables. *Singular, Monopoly.

Timetables built for when there is traffic don't work when there's not much traffic. Suffice to say I don't see why you'd want to try and publicly shame people who are probably just sticking to their schedule, published or not. Link to post Share on other sites

The journey time from Warrior Square to Morrisons used to tak 15 mins, it now takes 30. It is actually quicker to walk. Where were you last Thursday? Link to post Share on other sites

Most bus "Drivers" around Hastings seem to have a physiological problem with their right ankle, or lower leg, in as much they don't seem able to put enough pressure on the accelerator peddle to make the buses go faster than 15 MPH, the only route that defies this is the 99, on the stretch between Bexhill, and Pevensy which is a 50 MPH stretch, and if the drivers are not careful, they get stuck behind a level crossing, and may wet themselves because they miss their 3rd toilet/Smoke break.

RTPI Bus Stop Signs There are about one hundred and fifty electronic RTPI signs installed bus stops across East Sussex. We will continue to add signs to new locations when funding becomes available. Audible information – ‘Talking’ Bus Stops All RTPI signs installed in the county can provide audible information about bus services for people with visual impairments. These are known as ‘Talking’ bus stops signs. The audible information is activated by a key fob (remote control) issued by the County Council to partially sighted people. For further information about ‘Talking’ bus stops and to request a key fob, please email the Transport Hub. Contact Us For further information, please email the Transport Hub. Please provide full details such as road names and addresses if you are emailing about a specific stop. Four legs good - two legs bad Link to post Share on other sites
