You may well of done. But you won't have a clue what were dping. Several of our jobs require more that 1 or 2 people. Don't comment on something you've not got a clue about.

Still a waste of money when I've actually just seen them sitting in McDonald's, or playing on their phones ;)

Oh and standing no where near the buses in Sutton on the pedestrianised bit by Poundland.

Should do work rather than standing around wasting taxpayers money.

I shall be sending a complaint to Tfwm.

So what about all those operators on parkeon machines?

Maybe so, but with the two larger operators using Init and Ticketer, you'd think they'd only need a couple (no more than 3) data collectors. Now they've got more than three as I've seen three together in one place. And different ones elsewhere on the same day.

The ticketing department is extremely busy and work tirelessly to help every single customer. It's not always a straight forward solution. So can take time to discover.

@Dom
Maybe the ticketing department is working tirelessly to help customers, but the data collecting department isn't. It's wasting taxpayers (customers) money to pay people to do jobs that are done by the ticket machines.

Oh and replace perfectly good shelters with new crap ones so people are exposed to the elements so an advert board is put up to advertise propaganda.

It's because the advertising company will pay them more as more people (car drivers) can see it as they drive past.
And then they use this money on replacing more shelters... and then on things such as this new corporate branding scheme.

Careful on what you are saying there, next thing you'll get is someone completely disagreeing with your opinion!

Oh I know.

Swift has been out since around 2013.

Sounds like a Smartcard version of the Forth Bridge painting!

Advertising Swift PAYG when there are areas with no Swift PAYG top up points so you have to buy a ticket to go to one... especially if you've got an iPhone instead of an Android phone.

As I say, I reckon in a year or two TfWM will force everyone to have an NBus (albeit under a different name) which is a lot more expensive than the NX offering that most people have. Backlash from the passengers!

Also, what right do TfWM have to use taxpayers money to make advertising on bus shelters, by replacing the shelters, more visible to car drivers to make more money when they're already making bus travel more expensive, and then wasting the money on vanity projects.

Its a combined authority. So should be for the benefit of local people.
