" UK bus is reducing its networks similar to a typical Sunday service, which amounts to the removal of around 40% of bus mileage."
Interesting they are dropping the frequency of services down to low frequencies. Must be expecting a big drop in passengers then over the next few weeks.
Caught 1821 on the 55 this afternoon which was overcrowded and left people at the stops, so no shortage of passengers it seems at the minute.

But according to you, every bus you catch is overcrowded  ::)

No, that's rubbish.
I went on 4506 on the 94 earlier that wasn't overcrowded and other buses this week that weren't
And services that I saw seemed to still be carrying good passenger loads today.

Bet you weren't on 1821 today then. There were around 15 standing after leaving Saltley and left about 10 people behind on Washwood Heath Road. Then around 20 standing by the time it got to Ward End.

Just had news that a young Bordesley driver off the 8 route has passed away!

And dome people wonder why we go on about non-essential travel.

My condolences to his family & colleagues.
I know a lot of my guys know a lot of bordesley drivers so I'm sure they would also wish to pass on their condolences.


I follow in you sentiments about essential travel only.
Bus drivers livers are on the line & drivers are dying throughout the country.
For those that say "well theres no proof he caught it on the bus" with all due respects you're just coming up with excuses yo justify your actions.

Stay home unless absolutely necessary.
