True, but the 3/4 are very unreliable services, between 4pm and 6pm there are suppose to be 12/14 busses, you would be lucky if 6 turn up! Toppled with it being the busiest time for the 76, means the 1 will be overfull! I can't see this change lasting long.
Maybe Metrobus will change the overcrowding on the 1.
Although I hate seeing cuts in First I'm actually of the view that the changes in January are quite intelligent for First and long overdue.
171 was never going to work, 175 is (as what someone told me) a glorified school run and 76 just duplicates other services.
Aberdeen have told West of England they need to make cuts so profitability will improve. What other cuts would you make freetoview33? The changes in January save 11 vehicles supposedly at Hengrove.
First have won the other Metrobus route, but not sure which one. If I was to hazard a guess I'd say it'll be Cribbs Causeway to Hengrove. I think there are three contracts and First have currently won two. This was mentioned on Facebook.
I was under the impression that M1 would start in Jan 18.
