Took a Bus the other day for first time in about 20 years

TFL app makes things a bit nicer - know when the bus is coming without leaving the house, can check if there's one a minute behind which will probably be mostly empty, etc.

Buses are awful at some times (night buses, during school runs etc) but are ok at others.

Buses suck, unreliable, slow and the seats are too small for someone my height. Also a lot of the poor people catch buses so you find a lot degenerates on the buses.

The only bus I use is the one that goes from right by my house to the city centre. It rarely has anyone else on it, costs 90p and saves me the 20 minute walk. My overall experience is pretty good.

The only problem I have is the last one is at 7.20pm, which means if I fancy meeting someone in the pub it has to be an early one or I've got to walk. One at 8.20pm would be ideal.

The bi-yearly bus hating thread.

Still don't have a problem with them 1 minute walk to bus stop, 4 minute wait. 15 minutes to station.

You need to re-evaluate the place you choose to live if the entire bus is full of scum and stinking people.

I find london buses fine generally... night buses at 2am with people being sick on your shoes on the other hand...

Somebody on GD had experience of the real world.

5 page thread about it.

I don't catch buses all that often, but when I do - I don't really mind.

It's easy enough to pop my earphones in, and shut off for a bit. Sometimes find it quite relaxing, definitely wouldn't complain about using a bus, as I really don't have a problem with them.
