How ironic: despite the severe weather up here, the buses on the main routes have been, largely, going like clockwork.
For two days I've been getting to work on time - by bus.
And why?
Because the useless school-runners and commuters who insist - usually without good reason - on selfishly clogging the roads with their tin cans at rush hour, now find their cars are stranded in snow-choked side streets.
Some of these people, rather than lower themselves by using public transport, cry off work, and claim a "snow day".
Others, with more gumption, sneak up to the local bus stop, and, probably for the first time in years, take a chance with the bus. On they get, red-faced, awkward & unsure of the procedure.
At first I couldn't work out who all these new faces were yesterday morning.
Been fabulous here for two days - rush hour traffic must be at 1/20th of what it normally is. Easy run into and out of the city.
So, all those who claim they don't use public transport because it's unreliable and slow, just get the eff out of your cars & do one.
Of course, it's not going to happen - largely because most of them are too selfish, terrified, vain & snobbish to mix with the pensioners, the poor, the chavs & the "estate people" who they perceive as being the main users of buses. |  | | |  |

Some dreadful levels of personal hygiene on public transport. |
A mate of mine fingered an old girl on a bus in neath when we were about 17. She stunk so much she left this milky glaze on his fingers. It was the worst smell ever, it was of nuclear proportions. Nearly 30 years later I still get a hint of that smell when I go round his house.
Never take a biscuit off him. Five of his dogs have died over the years from signs of poisoning. |  |

It depends where you live really, some rural areas have a very limited bus service, if any, especially in snowy conditions. |  |

Fair point, Flash.
I was more on about those living in the suburbs who could quite easily get to & from work etc on the bus but can't be arsed for whatever reason.
Walk past a line of traffic at any major junction at 8am and it's car after car after car with just one occupant in each - the driver, and more than likely someone who lives 5 mins from their suburban bus stop. | | | |

In fairness you do wonder why some have these expensive vehicles when they live within a few miles of work - where they spend most of their time. | | | |

I'd probably still get the bus to work even if/when I pass my test.
It's easier and cheaper than driving into town and finding somewhere to park. |  |

Angry bus man alert! Angry bus man alert!
Are you talking about the car drivers whose national taxes and council tax subsidise all the unprofitable routes that would otherwise disappear leaving many regular bus users stranded?
Or are you talking about other car users? [Post edited 2 Mar 2018 10:27]

Well, I concede you have a point, half a point anyway.
But don't forget
1. Bus users also pay taxes.
2. Most tax payers begrudge something or other that their tax is spent on.
3. The amount spent on subsidising routes is probably a fraction of the money withheld by wealthy tax dodgers.
4. Subsidised bus routes have, you'll probably be pleased to learn, along with local libraries and swimming pools, become a casualty of austerity cuts. E.g. Recently learned to my disgust that there are no longer ANY buses running beyond the town boundary of Bedford on Sundays or Bank Holidays, not even on busy routes to Luton/Northampton/Milton Keynes.
No more Sunday afternoons gulping real ale and scoffing roast lunches in the beer gardens of village pubs in Bedfordshire for me.
Ones quality of life is lamentably curtailed. | | | |

Looks like it's about 1982.
Also, it has to be said, all 3 of the car's occupants look like wan*ers themselves! | | | |

Took the car in to work this morning, no problem,hardly any cars on the road, and in fairness the council had done a great job gritting, so now I have an extra days annual leave that I wouldn't have had if I'd rolled over this morning and said fck it.  |  | | |

A "snow day" no wonder productivity is down when the working class are given any reason to stay in bed and not turn up for work. They will be crying for a "heavy rain" or "windy" day off work next. |  |

I was on annual leave today thank goodness.
My wife works in Singleton Hospital and they sent them all home yesterday morning.
...........
No they fecking didn't and if there had been any bigger problem with the weather they would have either been collected or had to make their way to the nearest NHS location.
If I had been working today and couldn't make it in then unless I had shown I had made every effort to get there I would have had a day unpaid leave.
It makes you wonder how public services survive when they can afford to pay thousands of staff to stay at home. | |

Oddly enough the actual facts are that the "working class" never get a snow day, windy day or whatever a dickhead facist says. They lose pay which is something that they cannot afford to do.
Any factual reply or are you going to post your usual gubbins? |  |

That's a privatised transport system for you. Comrade Jezza will extend bus and rail services. Trying to get away from Cardiff late in the evening is quite annoying, even on a weekend night. Last year there was a 11pm train, an 11.35 then nothing til 1.30 in the morning. Transport has to be improved for the sake of the economy, it's strangling growth IMHO |  |

What a load of class cobblers.
In your world the bosses strive to get to work whilst those that create wealth for them dodge the column and stay home at every opportunity.
This weather was exceptional. It did not happen here but we had 55 cm of snow a few miles up the road.
I doubt even you could have got to work in your 20 year old Porsche 4 x 4 with a personalised number plate. Still it would have been a good day for the portfolio. ;-)
The days of family friendly employment have long gone. The majority of those that failed to get to work will pay for it in wage deductions or annual leave. [Post edited 3 Mar 2018 9:31]
