You had all those buses? We had two a week, into town and back on market day and Saturday.
I sentance every rural inhabitant who has complained about commuting to their office in their own car to live in London for one month to enjoy TFLs rat infested sewer.
The train comes to our little town once a week on a Saturday at 11am to go to one destination – one way. To get back, it would be 1 train to a different station, then an hours bus ride which comes about 4 times a day.
I’m not even rural, but the only bus is every 2 hours.
There are plenty of rural villages that have no bus service at all any more, and often getting a taxi to come out is a major issue.
Probably the same people who think we need fewer cars on the road.
Do I get to keep my London salary and what’s the taxi situation like? Pending the answer to those questions, I think I can do it.
Don’t even need to do that, just go to Liverpool.
You should see American Transit 🤣 keep calm lads.
Like everything else in life it’s all tradeoffs. You have shit public transport but clean water and air, clean streets, less crime, cheap houses, green spaces to feel human, etc. etc.
I lived in one that had the bus axed 😢 the pain is real.
It’s always a trade off.
If you live somewhere rural, chances are you could just drive your commute. You get, relatively, clean air and a nice scenic route.
If you’re in London? To the humid-with-sweat central line you go.
We used to have one round trip each week to South Molton for market day (Thursday), and then one trip to Exeter on a Friday (also market day).
Now its a twice a day loop around a few villages and dropping off/collecting from local train stations…
Londoners are in a bloody great rush to go nowhere, and they’re thrilled to death about it
Rural? This is the bus service in my city 😭
I moved from London to a town outside Middlesbrough
Can confirm
1 bus an hour?! What is this luxury!
In my day we had just 1 bus at 7am and you were lucky to have a return bus at 6pm if one at all
We get a bus on Wednesday morning, which returns 6 hours later.
From experience, they also think £50k a year is akin to minimum wage or perhaps that’s just the Reddit effect.
