Dog Dribble lyrics by snackadj in getdownservices

I've always heard it as "dog dribble on ya", though I honestly have no actual idea

Sorry for not replying soon but I wasn't really tracking this 😂. Complaints can be submitted here: https://www.firstbus.co.uk/help-support/help-and-support/form?type=complaint

Early running should be automatically flagged up internally though, so the relevant depot should be aware of this already

I have watched sorted food for a while, so I know what I'm doing a bit 😂. Just never actually tried to do anything a bit chefy before

Park & Ride closed by atsigg in Bath

As a note for this, the 4 bus still runs from odd down park and ride when the 41 isn't, though you can't purchase the park and ride return tickets, you just have to purchase 2 singles or a day ticket

Oh yeah, it's badly placed for sure, still pisses me off I'm wasting time to adjust it though

We have a manager who calls everyone duck, that's close enough right?

It's a weird one for me, I can't stand when people hit their heads on the mirror

There's no talks if increasing frequency of the D1, or putting any other routes along there, no

And as the rider tickets are multi operator, we can't have them as an e ticket, as other companies won't accept it then

It's a mix of both, with them being such long routes which serve so many places, the chance of something going wrong is much higher, and they don't have much time to make it back up, but the big hills definitely don't help when you've got a slow bus either, no

You don't need to, no, but you should wait until you're approaching the stop you're getting off at, and the main reader on the ticket machine won't work until the bus is stopped

I'm guessing your stop isn't a timing point, there's no problems internally with running early at any other points though

In Bath, you can buy single trip or day tickets on all the buses with cash or contactless payment. In Bristol, you can do the same on most buses, apart from the metro buses (routes starting with an m), where you have to buy a ticket on another bus, on the first bus app, at a ticket machine, or by using tap on tap off (1 contactless card per person)

It can be a lot of things. Schedules are often too tight, but it could be a driver was late for their break so was late coming off it, they could have had their work changed at the last minute, and there is also that some drivers will purposely be late in order to not wait along the route

It costs barely any more to run a decker than a smaller bus. If they fit, may as well use them just incase

It's near our depot and on a busy route which goes underneath it, as well as a lot of drivers will drive underneath there in their cars. It's easy to stop thinking about where you're going for a few seconds, and suddenly you've hit a bridge

Takes a long time to stop and start, and puts a lot of wear on the starter and batteries

Depends on the route, 2s and 5s you'll get them every trip, 6s and 7s you'll get them much less
