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.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.
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.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
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.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.

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 fixedThere were about 20 people at the stop in Royton.

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 itDo these buses generally go 15-20 minutes after the full time whistle?
Takes me that long to get out of the stadium from SS3
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.

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.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.

Did I speak to you on Sunday as you were walking past Tandle View Court?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.
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 properlyHe 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!

dont think so mateDid I speak to you on Sunday as you were walking past Tandle View Court?
No worries, I was talking to a City fan outside Tandle View Court after Arsenal, I’d just got back and he’d just got off the bus and was walking towards Dogford Road.dont think so mate
We only do returns (if the trains are running into MCR) so I’m not sure the clicker can tell them much. Definitely a more relaxed option for getting back to Macc than rushed overcrowded tram and trainIt 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.

Meant to be 25mins after. I've only used the 13 towards Oldham once, v Villa last week. It left Briscoe Lane just less than 20 mins after FT - I left at 80mins (sorry Pep) as I didnt want to risk missing it, as I was up for work at 6am. I've fed back that they should leave around 45mins after FT (and bloody stick to it!) to give chance for fans to stay and acknowledge the team, and fans whose bus might leave from the opposite side from which they sit. I don't think 20mins later departure would mean +20mins on the overall journey as some of the traffic would dissipate en route.Do these buses generally go 15-20 minutes after the full time whistle?

Yep the 25mins is too short a time and quite a few I have spoken to agree. Personally I still don’t understand some of the routes. The Radcliffe (now Bury) one would be better as a £2 shuttle service to Queens Road tram stop, running for a couple of hours after the game, but perhaps that is something they’ll look at when everything is up and running and there’s more to stay behind for.Meant to be 25mins after.

45 minutes!! You must be joking - did you mean 25? Our bus is full at the 25 minute deadline.Meant to be 25mins after. I've only used the 13 towards Oldham once, v Villa last week.

Agree. I would not use it if it sat around for 45minutes, but this is always going to be the problem as different people have different criteria. We leave at final whistle, stroll back to Connell college and typically wait 5-10mins before it sets off. But we’re ESL1, probs the shortest walk.45 minutes!! You must be joking - did you mean 25? Our bus is full at the 25 minute deadline.
It needs to be 30 mins for the 13 bus if you are coming from the SSL3 it’s a push to get there without walking very fast and fucking off at the whistle from the bottom of the tier.45 minutes!! You must be joking - did you mean 25? Our bus is full at the 25 minute deadline.
