Funny how operators are so keen to change their times now,but come Easter Sunday,when all the stores are shut and buses are running a normal Sunday service,with empty buses,they can`t be bothered to change the level of service(or at least that`s how a bystander sees it!).Easter Sunday is there every year,just like New Years day,so i wonder why bus operators don`t adapt at Easter,as they do at Christmas/New Year.
ReplyDeleteQuite agree,a lot of wasted milage on Easter Sunday,and buses running round empty.
DeleteBuses on Easter Sunday are certainly quiet, but not 'that' quiet. People don't only use Sunday buses to go shopping! It certainly isn't as quiet as New Years Day.
DeleteThere is also the problem of how it would be communicated to passengers. As Easter Sunday always falls on a Sunday (obviously!), I expect a lot of people would be caught out if anything other than a Sunday service was operated. People generally know that services will be different over the Christmas period and check accordingly, but to many people Easter Sunday is just a Sunday that happens to have a name.
Having said that, it will certainly become more of an issue in future if frequencies during Sunday shopping hours continue to increase.
Shouldn`t be a problem communicating it to passengers ,as passengers expect a reduced level of service on Good Friday and Easter Monday.
