    Understanding Edinburgh day tickets on the buses

    Trams have their own back office functions these days including scheduling and ticketing. Daytickets etc. are purely cross purpose because they're in the operating agreement. Contactless capping is not part of that agreement.

    It's floor paint. It's designed to sear in to the colours so you have to replace the panels.

    Because it gets results. Look at arriva sapphire. Turned the ashington network around. Arriva have now watered it down but the whole concept was more than a livery. The guy knows his stuff.

    The man gets results.....that's why people use him and the likes of mhd use a similar template. Samey? Yeah.....but someone in the isle of wight doesn't care what p&r buses look like in Norwich.

    You would difficulty standing upright on any double deck bus in the uk if over six foot tall. If the design meets construction and use regulations and is passed fit by VOSA at the start of its life the i would suggest your claim wouldn't get anywhere. Your money though so crack on.

    Hourly cost of a bus driver for the bus operator

    For a bus hour you need to treble the cost of a drivers wage hour. If you're just working out driver cost you need to add NI pension and sick etc. Roughly double.

    There are ongoing issues with AVL on the dual door London buses. This is being worked on. You also have to remember the current kit is now obsolete and unobtainable. Upgrade on the way but very expensive.

    Blatantly promoting a service to encourage bus use.....this is wrong how?

    Sorry Jordan but you're wrong. Just because the leaflet says that the reg is different. Just like BBT saying they're every 10 but actually operating every 12.

    Would love to see your working out about EBT figures.....you're very wrong. Frequency stab in dark is wrong as well....they're on that now.
