Cardiff buses - brilliant now !
A correspondent from Cambria fair writes :
I could not as a free bus pass holder let the slightly derogatory reference to Cardiff buses in your recent blog go without springing to their defence . Llanishen / Thornhill particularly are now very well served by the 27 (10 min intervals during day) or the 28 (half hour intervals). At the risk of tempting providence I have not up until now had a bus fail to arrive. I went to town on Monday on the 27 and returned on the 28 within the space of about 15 minutes .We even have TVs with wall to wall BBC competition. There's posh!!
The standard of the driving seems to vary quite considerably and there would appear to be a competition in certain quarters to see how far you can hurl an elderly person to the rear of the bus or to the front
Well yes, Bordeaux bus drivers play the same game, though last night I saw two young ladies simply hang from the hand holds and let the bus swing them wildly from side to side like the clappers. Of a bell. Great fun !
But a bus is no place for a trombone in its "coffin case". It seems to develop a wild desire to see the other passengers placed in their coffin cases, too.
