I find the bendy buses scary , crowded and dirty. Yes They are quick to board and disembark, Yesterday I watched as several people took advantage of this by not paying. And you cant tell me that scruffy young lads travelling at midday have season tickets - . They are scary as they get so crowded and all sorts of types, low life druggies and even Civil Servants going to Whitehall travel on the 12. Minor conflabs break out often, I've only seen one real fight but it has put me off using it to commute. I hope the old DDs are ok though they have far fewer downstairs seats. They are going to be running every 4 minutes - I hope this continues so we should able able to get on. I can save ?600 a year by only using buses to commute. Apparently there's a ?4 Billion surplus in TFL though Bozzo Johnson is acting as if the coffers are bare.
