Cardiff bus have been an absolute nuisance for a couple years now. For the most part, they are on time, and reliable, unless you use the Lisvane service.
Lisvane is one of the furthest areas to travel to, in Cardiff (from city centre). Most people in Lisvane seem to be elderly, or young.
Cardiff bus run the Lisvane service so badly, that its almost not worth having. Why?
- Catching the bus to city centre - this is timed to badly that anyone starting work on the hour will be late. either that, or end up hanging around town for an hour (an absolute pain when the shops are shut so early).
- Catching the bus back - the bus leaves at 5 mins to the hour, so if you finish work on the hour, your stuck in town for another hour. Again, an absolute pain if you just want to get home.
- The bus travels through Heath, and Thornhill, which both have their own, reliable, many-an-hour busses.
Cardiff bus really knows how to waste so much of your time.
A number of times, petitions in Lisvane have been made to try and get Cardiff bus to do something about their Lisvane service. This has been happening for years. Yes, theyve changed the service a few times, but not in the way anyone requests. Eventually, they replied "If you dont like the service, use a car. That way its your fault you are late."
I just dont get why, a public transport company would encourage someone to use a car? Doesnt the government want people to use public transport more?
