Why, because I've been on King street to many times watching buses go by refusing to stop as they are full.
I'd truly be interested in doing the P&R option at Kingsford, with more confidence I'll get on the bus at the start of the journey.
Pittodrie is horrible to vacate and you can still be in the area an hour after the final whistle trying to get out.
Kingsford, being right on the AWPR and A944 junctions will allow the traffic to disperse in all directions.
It's simply not as restrictive as Pittodrie.
Far more parking options at Kingsford too if the shuttles / P&R buses are not as good as hoped for.
Kingsford itself, Kingswells P&R, Prime 4 estate, Lawsondale and Arnhall will all be used.
For every challenge, it creates an opportunity.
For the Banff supporters you refer to, it could be an opportunity for a supporters bus, to take you right to the door.
May even pick up in Oldmeldrum and give you the 1 bus service your looking for.
It's an opportunity you should have been looking into as opposed to giving up at the first challenge.
Like I said before, no wonder we can't progress to our full potential and will likely regress with mindsets of can't do's as opposed to finding solutions. The council is just a reflection of this mindset
