Apr. 5th, 2006 09:48 amWHAT THE FRIG WAS GOING ON WITH THE BLOODY BUSES THIS MORNING???
I left work at 7.45. I proceeded to wait 15 minutes for a 126. I missed an 11C in Bearwood by about 10 seconds (it was stuck at the traffic lights and I knew full well he'd never let me on even if I ran) and then proceeded to wait another half an hour for the next one, which took SEVEN HOURS to get to Winson Green, and while I was waiting for the 101, three more sailed past the end of the bus stop. THREE. Presumably the three I could have boarded whilst waiting for the first one.
It's things like this which frustrate me. I think I'd be less annoyed if TWM stopped putting their fares up and were actually honest about their services. "Yeah, well, there's a timetable there, but we can't promise it's accurate. What with the traffic and everything. It might turn up eventually and we'll claim it was there the whole time and you missed it while you were standing there. Here, have a free magazine to read while you wait." rather than "We are wonderful! Go by bus!"
Bastards.
I left before 8.00am specifically to get in before 9.30!
Also, it's bloody cold out there.
