Still waiting at the bus stop

Is it any wonder that there's been a 13 per cent drop in the number of Mount people using the buses. It's impossible to get anywhere now! I used to be able to get the No. 1, the most popular route, a minute's walk from my Oceanbeach Rd home and travel direct to work in the centre of town in about 20 minutes.

Now I have to walk almost a kilometre to Links Ave to catch one, or face a long trawl in the wrong direction out to Bayfair and back again, spending the best part of an hour in a bus. Does whoever plans these routes actually use them? I've arranged to work from home because I can no longer use public transport.

What are the rest of my fellow passengers on the No. 1 now doing? Clearly they've given up too.
