Went on the bus!!
I had to get my car sorted....and did you know you don't get change now!
and you have to ding the bell when you want to get off from your seat!
but it was clean and driver was friendly so it was a thumbs up experience!
When was the last time you used public transport

you never get change when you use a bus pass
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.

They are very handy all the same
We often go walking then come back by bus if we have walked far and getting tired, our local bus is very clean when it arrives at town the driver carries a brush a sweeps it out, he is also very friendly.

Re: When was the last time you used public transport
The last time I used a bus was in Paington about 3 years ago, but now I am about to get my bus pass, the only problem is there are no buses from Kidder town to my house after 6pm.

Re: When was the last time you used public transport
Used public transport when we had the snow, but couldn't use my pass getting to work as I was a "twirly" but used it to get back home though.

Re: When was the last time you used public transport
We use the Park and Ride facilities when visiting towns where it is expensive to park in town, as well as avoiding the hassle of finding a place to park.
We have used these at Worcester, Shrewsbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, Ludlow and other towns further afield. Using our passes most are entirely free, Worcester being the exeption where you pay £2-20 for the parking but bearing in mind that this is for all day, it is quite reasonable compared with parking in the city. Nowadays if ever we need to visit a busy town we check first via the Internet, to check if they have Park and Ride
Modern busses are completely different from those of my younger days. No conducter with a ticket machine and they are remarkable clean and quick. I have used one while my car was being serviced and was quite surprised how fast it went.

Re: When was the last time you used public transport
You're far too young to remember that Annie!!
I read it in a book about people with red flags walking in front of the automobiles in case they went any faster than 5 miles per hour!!

Re: When was the last time you used public transport
You are kind Rob , I thought you could remember it yourself and thought how is that possible when Rob must be younger than me if you still go to work on your tendem, and i've got a pass for the bus, and I used it today.
