London Buses - Why do I bother?

This is why i get so furious when people on here tell me that buses are a perfectly good way to travel, that they can get from Pinner to London Bridge in ten minutes with cast-iron reliability, etc. It's not true. It's just not true. Bus travel is a lottery, and nothing more. Depends on the journey. I live a three minute walk from KXSP station. Despite this I'll generally take the bus for any journey I can within central London - because anything that is less than four stops on the tube, or would involve a change, it'll be quicker. But that said, I commute to Hammersmith every day, and even though there's a bus that stops outside my office and thirty seconds from my house, I would be absolutely insane to take it because it takes an interminable time to do the length of Oxford Street. If your journey involves Oxford or Regent Streets the bus will pretty much always be an experience that makes you want to gouge your eyes out. Jonn |
