Two things
In message , Stuart
writes Secondly, closed Bus Stops. There are quite a few in my patch at the moment as there is major gas work going on. The number of people who stand there next to a large yellow sign saying 'BUS STOP CLOSED' and a cover over the 'flag' saying 'BUS STOP CLOSED' and then get annoyed when the bus goes straight past them. Very entertaining, but I have to wonder... are these people very stupid? In this area they moved the bus stop up the road about 50feet on the other side of some traffic lights. They took down the actual bus stops. And put massive posters on the bus shelter to say the bus stop had moved. The bus often stopped near the bus shelter because it had stopped at a red light on the traffic light. It was highly amusing to see people running into the road and banging on the door. And then see them running up the road following the bus to the new bus stop. I don't think people are stupid. I just think some people get so use to something that change doesn't register. Personally Im glad Im not going to be driving a bus when they change the 70p fare to £1. The number of people who will be dropping their pound coins and expecting change and not getting it despite all the publicity that will probably going to come with the fare change is going to be high. And then the arguments when they don't get their change.... -- CJG |
