City bus scheme for home games - bus tracking (P91)

No problem, pal.

Just to clarify for others a day saver on any bus network is £5 and a day saver on Bee buses only is £3.60.
Day saver for one bus route I thought you meant earlier not the whole Bee Network, that’s definitely £5, same price as System One which covers all of GM buses. It’s complicated as the Bee Network is only 2/3rds rolled out so far.
 
Yes downstairs there was only 4 people, but the bus company had given the driver the wrong times so I believe there was 20 people left behind at a previous stop. Going home still plenty of room though
There were about 20 people at the stop in Royton. The bus either didn't turn up or was very late as some left after waiting nearly half an hour. Unacceptable. The bus home would have had an extra twenty people on it.

I thought i meant the whole Bee bus routes, sorry i was wrong. A £5 day saver is still better value for me though, especially as i need 2 buses each way.

The opposite I believe mate, apparently the bus left early. Driver was given times for 8PM kick off not 2015. Just what I heard off some other passengers. Hopefully they get it sorted as I think its a great idea once the problems are fixed
 
Do these buses generally go 15-20 minutes after the full time whistle?
Takes me that long to get out of the stadium from SS3

Supposed to be 25 minutes I thought. Somebody earlier said the Macc bus left 20 minutes after last night. Thankfully I was on it by then and I don’t actually check the time of the final whistle but I would be pretty peeved if I was there 21 minutes after and missed it

It was me - but I might have been a few minutes out. the Guard seems to have a click counter and he checks both decks, presumably to see if the same number are on the return leg as were on the trip in. Just my opinion

When i chatted to a previous driver they know the number of returns so if the bus was full they wouldn’t let anyone on just to do a one way return, but if there are spaces obviously there would be room for them.

He said he had the wrong timetable and had an 8pm ko time, they never sent a second bus, he got to chadderton and someone must’ve been early and told him he phoned the office and basically just waited until the correct time for the last to stops! He also left early by 5 mins returning, this needs sorting 25 mins isn’t long enough for some anyway, chatting to two girls last night they left at 80 mins so not to miss the bus as at the Newcastle game apparently he fucked off after 15 mins leaving loads stranded.
Did I speak to you on Sunday as you were walking past Tandle View Court?

Unless they stick to the timetable before game and wait long enough post game, this trial will fail. It’s a great idea, and needs to be managed properly
