Renton 17824 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Renton is about to lay into the Metro system 173253[/snapback] Was going to but then got distracted by work. But I've said all I need to lots of times before. The only thing I miss is not being able to read a book as a passenger, but usually that's impossible anyway.

Jill 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I get the metro at rush hour daily and it stopped bothering me not long after I started (2½ years ago). I whinge about it a lot but on the whole it's fairly reliable and not too expensive (student pass ). I can't drive but even if I could I wouldn't get a parking space at work so there'd be no point bringing the car unless I wanted to pay for somewhere in the centre of town. The bus is a different story mind. Makes me travel sick. I find public transport a lot more bearable if I have my sound isolation headphones in.

rebellious 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It happened to me a few months back. Put the car in for some work. I hated it for all the reasons listed. Second time the car went back i demanded a courtesy car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 It's not too bad in Reading. There's the park & ride from Madejski Stadium into town and the Oracle which is handy and not too pricey. At the end of the driveway there's a bus stop and last time I used it it was early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Geordie 1 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 The bus system in Bristol is actually very very good. Though, the drivers can be complete arse holes. They don't accept twenty pound notes any more so expect us to have change, so if we're in a rush.. not being allowed on cos we don't have change would be a bit of an arse.. Then again it's lucky I have a bus pass! There is also a cross dresser bus driver, makes me feel a bit uneasy to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9008 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I hate public transport and don't care if it makes me sound snobby and perpetual I've said it before and I'll say it again, Using public transport is like Rockpooling; the sheer volume of horrible little creatures you find is staggering.

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I use the number 1 quite a bit, and the 62 and 63 on occassions. The 60s have a high charver content but it's bareable and they quite regular. The number 1 usually comes regularly, athough it can be an absolute nightmare on a morning going in to Uni. I sometimes walk it instead. They're quite bad after a match as well. They're always late and jam packed and by the time it gets to John Dobson Street you could have stood waiting 25 minutes only for it to fly past without stopping because its full. A lot of the drivers on the number 1 seem to mistake a great big double decker bus for a rally car as well and like nothing better than hurtling it through tight corners and terraced streets in Heaton. In general though, it's tolerable although not as good as it once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 14060 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 London's alreet, but then being sarf of the river I get to use overground trains rather than the Tube (particularly useful in summer). Buses are OK too. My experiences in Newcastle have always been OK, but then I'm a spoilt Gosforth boy and the High Street is stupidly well served for buses straight into town (meaning you can avoid the Metro, mercifully).

Jusoda Kid 1 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Had to get the bus into town the other day as the car was in for an M.O.T so i made the fatal mistake of getting on a 39 from shields rd. My journey was made more pleasant however by seeing a ginger charver/tramp with 2 kids wearing shell suit bottoms and high heel boots, which were blatantly knee length, you gotta love it!

Paul 0 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 (edited) I use public transport on average about 6 days a week, and I have to say I f*cking hate it. Getting the bus home from town is just one of those things you can't be assed with. Edited August 9, 2006 by Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13877 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Public Transport is generally excellent I find. I can get to work cheaper and quicker and enjoy a book or magazine as I go. Some of the scum that use public transport spoil it occasionaly. 173205[/snapback] That's the problem. Haven't tried it over here yet, the tramps over here are well groomed ffs (and seem to speak a t least 2 languages!), so it's probably grand. 173211[/snapback] where you at like?
