The problems with buses on Guernsey seem to me to be these ... Everybody 'knows' there is never a bus that goes anywhere near where they want anytime near when they want. Everybody 'knows' that, even if it does turn up, the bus will be late and the driver will be rude and drive dangerously Everybody 'knows' the buses are too big...... Oh and it costs too much to use them .... When in reality, for a lot of people, most of the above do not apply. Everybody seems to want a door to door taxi service - but don't want to pay taxi prices. They want smaller buses - but wouldn't want to pay the increased costs that would result They don't want to walk to a bus stop and wait in the rain .... so will instead drive ( slowly in the traffic .. ) and then park a 5 mile hike ( in the rain ... ) away from where they actually want to be .... and an hour before they actually need to be there anyway ... IF we had frequent reliable bus routes, using ( on balance ) the best vehicles currently available, covering large parts of the island ( but without taking an island tour to get there .. ) at sensible prices ( starting low, and the further you go the more you pay ) then I think you might have a chance of crowbaring people out of their cars. But frankly I have given up hope of ever seeing the political or public will to make it happen .........
