O/T South Yorks Buses & Encouraging People to Use Public Transport

[great_fire]

Not been on a bus for a while but the car is being repaired and found out there is no longer a bus from Wath to Meadowhall and you have to change in Rotherham, how pathetic is that, no direct bus to the major shopping centre in the area!

Really encourages people to use public transport. Used to have a good bus service here but seems they have made a mess of it.

Always the blame game with you isn't it? If they ran a bus along that route every hour, even though no one used it and it made a massive loss, you'd be bleating about the waste of money....

If you're looking for someone to blame, look in the mirror, you, the car driver, is the one at fault, plain and simple.

Falling demand, rising running costs, loss of subsidies...

They did have one every hour, the 229 (then changed to 228 I think) was always busy, far more people shop in Meadowhall than Rotherham, seems a bizarre decision to cancel the service.

Was busy when I used it, you really saying more people want to travel to Rotherham than Meadowhall? Not just shopping bet there's more people working at Meadowhall as well, like I said bizarre decision.

We did used to have a good bus service, that was when it actually was public transport and the service was subsidised out of taxation. Then the services were privatised and capitalism took over. There is clearly not enough demand for that route so it has gone, market forces at their finest. Surely you aren't suggesting we go back to the old socialist system GF?
