Hopes and expectations on the buses in 2017

[Steve3229vp]

My hopes for 2017 are:

More platinum buses
No more route branding on Red and White or Blue and White buses - it doesn't have the same impact !
No more unnecessary re-numbering
Simplify routes in Birmingham City Centre in an attempt to improve reliability

[GeminiFan1991]

I suppose some black country routes could be made Platinum although I think we have enough of them on the Eastern side of Birmingham ! I'd quite like a different vehicle type to become Platinum as well.

I'd quite like more bus lanes in the City Centre to help improve the flow of buses, it might potentially cause congestion for car users but it'll help beat the congestion for buses and who knows it might improve bus usage.

More bus lanes with camera & fine the car drivers £1.000 with points on there licence

More E200MMCs would be nice. Whether this is expected or not, I'm unsure

[karl724223]

Enviro mmc200 platinum buses for x96
Maybe a gold number 9 service route

Streetdecks in quantity!

[Ashley 60171]

More Streetdecks.
Crimson E400H MMC's
Tidy up the Eclipse 2's at Wolves
More ALX400's (both) in black country.
More luck with winning haulage.

Oh, and tomorrows lottery numbers if you have those too.

Have to agree more Streetdecks, sorry not a fan of the E400MMCs,
a change to the Platinum livery, the Crimson livery is so so much better, the Platinum livery makes the buses look dull and uninviting (just my personal opinion)
a Dudley Bus Review that actually listens to the views of the public,

Some mmcs are ok, but I also prefer streetdecks

An increase in revenue teams and a 'get tough' stance on fraud and smoking.

Smoking definitely needs addressing. Why we have revenue inspector yesterday when it's the busiest time of year I do not know. Do they understand people are rushing this time of year?

When do you want revenue teams to check buses? When there is no-one on them on their way back to garage?

Not 2 days before Christmas

Not 2 days before Christmas

So what do you expect revenue inspectors to do two days before Christmas.

Do you expect the buses to be free for people that don't want to pay on some days?

I've very rarely been on a bus where there have been people without tickets
