Default Why People Won't Use Public Transport in London

"Henry" wrote in message ...
Crawley

A "guided bus" system called Fastway is currently under construction. It
has been causing chaos for about two years already and is far from finished,
and is costing a fortune.

The route is already running, and is (and will be) serving only a small part
of the town. The rest of the bus system is in decay - old uncomfotable
buses. As a result of the introduction, other services in the area are
being curtailed, meaning that busy routes which were direct now have to been
done with changing.

Not a great incentive to use public transport.

The money would have been far better spent providing a modern, efficient
system for the whole town.


As someone who use to live in the Crawley area. The only good think
about Crawley buses was the Metrobus (the dark blue buses whatever
they were called) under female driver who use to wear a Metrobus
issued short skirt. If all bus drivers were like this maybe congestion
would fall.
