Trains no longer waiting for pulling-up train
"Mizter T" typed
As a counter-point to that it means that those on the bus are not left dawdling around. It's purely subjective but my memory of bus journeys of old was that they weren't as snappy as nowadays. Yes, this has a number of downsides, but I quite like the sense of urgency that now seems to pervade bus operations in London, because ultimately I want to get from A to B. This is no fun for standing passengers, especially if old or infirm. If changes of bus are involved then it may well be that there are several routes serving a particular corridor that a passenger could use. Also, of course, there are often more buses on each route nowadays, and I think a frequent service on bus routes where big gaps between buses are avoided as much as possible really does inspire confidence in the bus network. There's nothing worse than waiting at a stop for ages. I'd suggest factoring in these considerations when weighing up such matters. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |
