Give feedback on Weymouth buses
11:30am Sunday 14th October 2012 in News
BUS users in Weymouth and surrounding areas are being asked for their opinions by service provider First.
A Meet the Manager session will take place on Wednesday, November 14 between noon and 6pm at the back of stand K8 on The Esplanade.
Bosses will be on hand for six hours to take feedback, suggestions and answer questions.
Natacha Tagholm, regional customer manager for First, who will be there on the day, said: “These sessions, which are open to anyone, give local people the opportunity to find out more about nearby bus routes and services, or offer feedback about their own customer experiences.
“We value what people tell us.
“Where people highlight problems they have had we can use that information to resolve issues and fundamentally build a better bus service for everyone in the area.
“We will happily take on board suggestions for improvements, implementing them whenever feasibly possible.”

The big question is will they turn up on time or be late like normal First buses ?
And then will they all turn up at once

Buses are (generally) rather old and shabby, and could do with a good clean.
Wey-Dorch service is (according to customers) unreliable.
Electronic displays are ridiculous- whoever is responsible for them needs to have a good look at them and realise that they do not function as they should (or could).
Introduce family tickets.
I would love to use the bus- but it should be cheaper than driving, efficient and reliable. Sadly, the current service is none of these.

You only have to try to get sensible info from the First timetable to realise how poor their service is. Try to get a time for a bus from Portland that will connect with one which goes from the Statue to Dorchester and you'll find that they are "at frequent intervals". That means what? Hourly, every 10 minutes or a couple every hour? Then wait and watch the "live" updates as the bus that is due to arrive in 2 minutes suddenly disappears and the next one makes you miss the Dorchester bus completely.

enance costs and huge parking charges the bus companies need to get more positive and look to the future, otherwise their services with low frequencies will become even less..instead of more!
