How To Catch A Bus

The idiot’s guide to catching a bus is now here. It’s so simple that even the most bone-headed person who has never ever used the bus or public transport before could manage it.

Someone who hasn’t has to use public transport - and especially buses - before is a very lucky person, because public transport is shit. Slow, expensive, crowded, and usually dirty. I don’t use it unless I absolutely have to.

Instead, I cycle.

Because buses in my experience are absolutely rubbish.

If bus companies want people to use their services, then there are two simple things that they need to do:

  1. Be more regular and reliable.
  2. Be cheaper.

They’re really not hard. If I don’t know that I am able to get to where I need to be on time, I won’t use public transport to get me there. And if it costs as much - if not more - than the petrol in a car would cost, nobody is going to use it unless they have to.

If you want people to catch a bus, rather than releasing an idiot guide just improve the service you provide.
