However the biggest waste of taxpayers money ever spent the R1 is too be removed.

Are the Hythe residents still allowed free or reduced fares ?

First's is much more professional; they don't get everything right every time but at least they try. Neither is as good as Velvet who are excellent at social media, although their buses do often seem to suffer from unreliability!!Bennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-70428311343690743092014-03-27T09:45:24.102+00:002014-03-27T09:45:24.102+00:00If you ever look at the First facebook page,you wi...If you ever look at the First facebook page,you will find at times replies they give to customer enquiries seem rather strange. On the subject of Central Bridge one customer was told by customer services that the buses would run via Ocean Village,(which would be the normal route in each direction except for the 5), but the website publish a different arrangement for the diversion as can be seen. It seems at times, First have a serious communication problem between one department and the other, and leaves the customer in total confusion. They are always stating too the public how important relations with customers are,but fail sometimes miserably in promoting it. Somedays on the facebook site, there is an accident, where buses for a time have to be diverted, which they inform you of, and state up dates will follow regarding the posting, but they never do. There are many areas on this site that need vast improvement as to information given. PACAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
