Some of the clientele on the Outer Circle

[MW]

Some top passengers we get on the old Outer Circle. This is why it'll never get new buses again 😂

Let's be honest it's why certain areas in general don't get new buses

If Northfield (X61) can get new buses, anywhere can....

Happens just about anywhere. Not just the 11.
About a year ago I saw a man kick the doors in on a 127/8 as he was angry that he missed the bus.
It's a minority that will do something like that, most just want to get from A to B and it doesn't 't happen everyday.

I agree with you @2206 .There's good and bad in all areas just some areas are generally just a lot worse then others

Somebody bricked a 72 I was on once. A few months later it received new buses, a couple of years later it received new buses again.
Theres too much shaming of areas and routes sometimes. We all live in the West Midlands, there's the odd incident like this across the whole network. They are few and far between, but they're not limited to one part of the conurbation.

I agree. It's nothing to do with 'areas', its about the people living in those areas. There are lowlife scum living everywhere, and you can see from this example exactly how their mentality works: at its core its a complete lack of respect or consideration for anybody else apart from themselves, a refusal to acknowledge responsibility for their own actions, and a misguided belief in entitlement, that the world owes them everything.

The circumstances leading up to this aren't very clear from this article, but yes, I'm willing to bet that this person tried to get on with a 'dodgy daysaver' and the driver was having none of it.

I personally am sick to death of these lowlife idiots, who think that somehow they should not have to pay for a public service that everyone else has to. I'm reminded of a time a few weeks ago, I was walking home from shopping in Yardley and some guy at the Church Road bus stop asked me in passing "you got a spare bus ticket mate?", to which I casually replied "no sorry mate, they sell them on the bus you know?" before walking off. (I didn't particularly want to get in a confrontation following my sarky response!)

You can't be serious? Yes it isn't great but it's fantastic compared to many places in North Birmingham...

What places are you refering to?

Please say where in North B'ham isn't great. Yes, Kingstanding isn't great and Sutton isn't that great but North B'ham is better compared to some places in the south. Have you not heard of Bartley Green or Kitwell? Erdington and Northfield are pretty much the same.
