“Apologies that this is pretty much just a moan, but I cannot believe they are this unfathomably bad at the minute. Going to work in the morning, it’s a pure lottery whether any come at all, let alone on time, and coming home from work, I had been stood at a bus stop on Ecclesall Road for 50 minutes at peak time between 5-6, and two buses came past in total. I counted and three scheduled buses I was waiting for simply did not come. Especially given the fact they’ve just redone the timetables, I simply do not understand why a city of half a million cannot have a bus service that functions even remotely properly. Anyway, rant over.”
This is not my moan, but I went to the City centre today, by bus, and this pretty much sums it up.
The bus was actually on time, but it was filthy, the driver was a surly twat who didn’t even manage a grunt in response to my ” good morning “.
Manners are free, and wash your fucking buses, you cunts!
I strongly suspect that OC may have
written the original complaint. I wouldn’t blame him.
Nominated by Jeezum Priest.
I see the nom photo shows a Stagecoach bus. Stagecoach really offer piss-poor services in London, where most routes have Stagecoach operated services, like other people have mice. For some reason TfL are in love with Stagecoach. Perhaps brown envelopes exchange hands?
I don’t know much about Sheffield, but there is only one thing more that I enjoy than going to Sheffield, and that is coming back from Sheffield.

That says it all about local councils, they are not run for the convenience of the ratepayers.

Jeezum – You can save on the bus fare home by jogging home behind the bus. You can save even more money by jogging home behind a taxi.

I resigned my last position largely because it was impossible to commute without feeling like the timetable was a closely detailed re-enactment of the retreat to Dunkirk in May 1940.
What a bunch of hopeless cunts.
Well Cunted and Good Morning.

Better get used to it JP.
Private motorised transport will be banned for all but the Elite in our forthcoming Green Utopia.

When I used the buses at school, college or to go for a night out anywhere decent before I could drive, I noticed how miserable the driver was. Ive never encountered a happy one.
I think the bare minimum of fucks was given as the buses in my town were erratic and the timetable seemed optional. They often raced past the stop on the main road, regardless of whether a person might be approaching it.
Since learning drive (i was 25) ive used to bus twice in nearly 18 years. They are no reliable althernative to private car ownership.

I have my bus pass, so it doesn’t cost me.
However, I am thinking of buying a small, and I mean small, electric car.
It’s essentially a mobility car, a modern day equivalent of the spaccamobile.
Road worthy, seats 2, but driver with passenger behind.
I’ll let you know.

I must declare an interest up front. My father and my father-in-law both earned their living as bus drivers for many years, in the case of my father-in-law it was the only job he ever had after being demobbed following WW2. It’s habitual on here obliquely to take the piss out of Suckdick because his father drove a bus but I would make two points; a bus driver is working not living on benefits and the job requires a certain skill and application. Most car drivers I know could no more drive a bus than fly with the birds. One of the saddest things about the decline in bus travel is the way the staff have moved from being friendly and helpful to being surly twats who wouldn’t give you the time of day but that is a move common throughout society. Death knell for the buses was when people became able to afford their own motor car. The steady reduction in what were huge subsidies was the final nail. The decline of public transport just one of many big changes over the years, for instance my wife and I are in our seventies. Our fathers both died in their fifties.

There are buses, trams and trains in Sheffield. You lucky bastard.
We have feet and carts in the sticks. Oh, and Transpennine Express in Scunny, or the ‘replacement bus service’ as we call it. When it does run it takes an hour for what would be a 45 minute car journey and costs a second mortgage.
5
Nothing against buses, not for me but for the lower classes. Get the minimum wage mob to their pointless fucking jobs.
The ayatollah of Londons dad was a bus driver, just think about it, getting on a bus with the smelly cunts and there is a smelly cunt at the wheel.
Forget the bus JP, save up and get a taxi driven by a white man.

They also take the underclass to the job centre. A way of life for half the men under 40 in certain towns on the south coast.

Buses are fucking brilliant now I have my bus pass. I often travel just one stop knowing that other cunts would have to pay £2.00. Some routes need avoiding as they go to undesirable postcodes and attract hillbillies, sweaty piss heads and arseless druggies. Catch the one to the library, At least your fellow passengers can read.
Good morning, everyone.

£2 is the maximum fare, not necessarily what you’ll pay.

I love buses now I have my bus pass. I often go just one stop as I know other cunts would have to pay £2.00. Be careful, as some routes go to undesirable post codes and get filled with hillbillies, sweaty/sweary piss heads, and arseless druggies. Get the bus to the library. At least your fellow passengers will be able to read.
Good morning, everyone.

A horse, when turned on its sides, quickly becomes an obstreperous, uncooperative animal.
This does not apply to the Sheffield bus.
The Sheffield bus resembles a cage full of parrots,
With the door to freedom at the bottom of the cage,
Concealed by a very thick and smelly layer of shit and piss.

I use the bus service for doing a large shop and taxi back. Best times for me are during weekdays and its not unusual for the bus to be completely empty for the entire journey and having a bus pass doubles the pleasure. I often take the bus for my own personal mystery tour, enjoying the countryside and seafronts whilst going through small towns for enjoyment. I’m glad I struck upon my own personal shangri la.

Tuk tuk motor taxi is the future. Noisy, dirty, cheap, frightening, private and perfectly suited for wet climates.

Bus…
they are a mode of transport I swore never to go near again after I grew pubes and bought a vauxhall viva for £250 at 17.
Of course it’s filthy. It’s full of scrotes and buswankers. Of course the driver’s a cunt. He has to drive a stinking box full of armpits, arseholes, pissheads, junkies and chavs for 8 hours a day.

JP, im in Heeley Green, a £5.20 taxi fare to work in the city centre is value to me.
Even if I have to put up with Daki gobshites.

Was it the 88 by any chance JP?
1
The 25, OC.
To be fair, it’s pretty reliable, but full of chavs and smelly tramps by the time it’s passed through Arbourthorne.
I don’t go to the centre very often because, quite frankly, it scares the crap out of me, these days. All the shops I need to go to are available at Meadowhall, etc. anyway.
What a shithole the centre has become.

Yeah it’s sadly really – Sheffield isn’t a bad city all things considered but the M̶u̶s̶l̶i̶m̶, c̶h̶a̶v̶, b̶e̶n̶e̶f̶i̶t̶s̶ s̶c̶r̶o̶u̶n̶g̶e̶r̶ rat infested centre really lets it down.

As a fellow Sheffield resident. Used to have one of the best bus services 40 years ago to now one of the worst. This Country is a world leader in fucking up anything that a Rhesus Monkey could sort out. As for Sheffield Council, always remind me of Frank Burns in MASH. Total fuckwits. Yet still get voted in even though it’s Kim Il Sung wearing a Red Rosette who’s standing. God help us all when Labour get in.

When we moved to this house, 10 years ago, we had a good, reliable frequent bus service every 10 minutes, from town to A and back again. Every 3rd bus would carry on to B then back to town via . A few years ago it stopped going to B altogether. After the lockdowns* the service was utter shit, buses randomly didn’t show up, sometimes 4 or 5 in a row. Then the last 2 miles of the route became a ‘circular’. And it started running every 15 minutes. So now a bus goes to my GP every 30 minutes instead of 10. They have at least trained a lot of extra drivers so they are 75% of the way back to the reliability they used to have. Sadly, they’re still full of noisy, smelly wögs and blacks.
*I refused to call it a pandemic, it was nothing more than a government and MSM driven exercise in fear and control. The cunts.

I’ll second this. i had my car in for a service a month ago (I live in Sheffield myself) and had to rely on the bus. One never turned up and the one after it was 45 mins late. a journey to my otherhalf took over 2 hours when it takes less than 20 in the car. The buses here are an absolute joke.

What annoys me in Leicester is that almost all buses go via the city centre. That means that it took an hour to get to my previous dentist by bus when I could walk it in 20 minutes.

I had the misfortune to take my car to Sheffield for a warranty repair. Dropped the car off and walked from infirmary road to the train station. (1st bus avoided). Train station tells me the trains are on strike, but there’s an express bus from the bus station (fuck).
Bus pulls in, double decker ‘express’ ?, and it is rammed. I go for the only seat, right at the back, in the middle. Scrotes to the left, right and on the rear facing seats at either side. 90 mins to travel from Sheffield to Barnsley and they’re all constantly fidgeting and making monosyllabic grunts and squeeks. 90 fucking mins of it.
Needed another bus to get home, took one look at the queue and thought ‘fuck it, I’ll have the 5 mile walk instead’. (2nd bus avoided). The last time I was on a bus before this was in Friedrichshafen, Germany about 10 years ago. very clean and scrote free.

Scrote free?
