Staff on buses generally very good and I do not envy their job.
Big problem is our former Mayor giving free travel to children , who in most cases can walk.
If you get the bus 197 or 176 at former McDonalds at school time hoards of young ladies get on for two sops to go to The Finishing School for Ladies on Dartmouth Rd. Other passengers are brushed aside. I pods are going full blast and mobile phones , do not even mention them.Also do not thanks driver when entering and alighting.
Also the 75 at Perry Vale Fire Station. Got on last Friday only just , was full of young gentlemen for Dacres Rd school , again 2 stops. Driver said most got on previous stop.
We should go back to previous situaution. You got a free pass if you lived 3 miles or over. The driver of the 75 said no wonder kids are obsese.
