Until that lottery win comes in though I'll have to settle for a fleet of Vespas. Whilst they are getting their service, it's back to the board and public transport ago. Leeds is pretty well covered on the main buse routes and West Yorkshire Metro are the main suppliers. Now we all grumble about the service and standard in this country but I have to say Metro aren't half bad. What I will rave about is the free city centre buses, excellent. Metro's freecitybus links Leeds' rail and bus stations, business and shopping districts, the General Infirmary, Universities and Park Lane College. Not half bad Jack, especially as they run every few minutes from 6.30am till 7.30pm. You'll also find plenty of buses taking you to the outskirts of the city. Particularly handy if you want to venture to the football at Elland Road or the rugby and cricket at Headingley. They aren't perfect, but hell what is these days. However, after a day hitting the shops or getting home from work you really can't slam the service they provide.

We paid £3.60 for a family return and the two oldies with us got on free with their bus passes. This service has 3 drops in Scarborough to give you the choice of where to get off.

Rude support, they basically had me going through hoops just to get to the end where they told me I couldn't get the refund I deserved.

Will never buy from again and will urge others not to do so as well.

There are several along Scarborough sea frontthe one by the Spa is open for far longer. They are extremely old and quirky, and I love to see the expressions on visitors that have obviously never been in one before.it's an experience! I love the lift, it saves climbing the many steps or steep hills back up into town. The price does seem to rise every year, but given it's age and running costs and just the original experience it's worth every penny..it's not much only about 40p each (pay at the top!) The times can vary so it's best to check otherwise you may still have the climb up the hill, it tends to be open late when there's a show on at the Futurist. Worth a ride . even if it's just for the experience

I don't often use public transportation as it's a bit pricey, but if and when I do the buses always show up and the drivers are always pleasant!

Thank you Stagecoach and it's drivers for doing the best you can!

It occurred to me one day that most of the visiting faculty usually travel to Lincoln via bus as…read moreour shuttle stops at the same bus stop in Grantham and they all recommend it saying it is easy and cost effective. I always went by train (if I wasn't going by coach on the college's field trip), so this time I decided to give the bus a go. Typically, I don't go for the top deck, unless it is one of those open top tour buses, but I figured that it was going to be awhile until I got to Lincoln and I hadn't been to Lincoln this way, so hopefully it would be scenic. If you only bought a single, it is less than £5, so cheaper than a single by train. However, if you buy a return, depending on whether or not you have a rail pass of some sort and how far in advance you purchase your ticket, it could be cheaper or it could be even. That being said, the bus from Grantham takes about an hour and twenty minutes. If you take the train and change at Newark North Gate, you could get there in just under an hour. If you change anywhere else, it could take just under two hours. The view is really beautiful. I had never been on that side of the A607... usually if I am driving on the A607, I'm headed toward Melton, so this was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed the views! The bus station in Lincoln is centrally located, although watch out, you could get run over by various buses going in and out (I watched a number of people dodging buses...). With either mode of transportation... a night out in Lincoln is not possible, you could stay later if you took the train back, but by later I mean 8 p.m. It isn't half bad, but if you are in a hurry, not really the best way to go and it doesn't necessarily save you anymore money than taking the train.

The Stagecoach Supertram is one of the best ways to get around Sheffield and the South Yorkshire…read moreregion with services going throughout Sheffield city centre, including locations such as IKEA, Meadowhall, Hillsborough (for Sheffield Wednesday FC) and even Rotherham and the railway station of Sheffield. Operated by Stagecoach, this means you can use a bus/tram ticket in the area as one, making it much cheaper than other tram services such as those serving Manchester and the West Midlands. Unlike some other tramway and light rail operators in England, Supertram accepts concessionary travel passes issued by any English local authority. With 50 stations across 4 lines, it isn't the largest of light-railway systems, but it does the job serving most locations you'd want in the city. Services are frequent enough, but they could be improved. Overall, the trams did seem a little old-fashioned, there was limited room on the trams too at most locations meaning it would be quite hard to find a seat at most times, the carriages were also separated by a large step. Some of the stations along the network could surely do with some modernisation in most regards, even by adding more modern signs, seating, lighting and just bringing it in line to the standard by Metrolink in Manchester for example. One of the best ways to get around Sheffield and even South Yorkshire, at an affordable price, making it better than most light-railway systems in that regards, but still let down by old-fashioned, cramped trains which could run a little more frequently at peak times. 3*

A customer already on the tram told me that 10 MINUTES BEFORE I GOT ON the incident was reported. So I got on the tram at 6.25 pm, it went one stop I had just paid and they announced we wouldn't be moving because there was an 'emergency' on the tram in front. If it was an emergency an ambulance would be there right? They priorities all calls. NO. It was 25 MINUTES AFTER I GOT ON THE TRAM A CAR ARRIVED, NOT AN AMBULANCE. THE STAFF WERE RUDE AND UNHELPFUL. I only just found out from 'customer services' today, that First would have let me on with a Stagecoach only ticket in these situations. I did go to the front to get off and for my ticket to be swapped to a city wide but they refused. THE STAFF DIDN'T TELL ME this important information though. I walked back home because I was already late so missed the meeting. Stagecoach really need to get a grip on the fact that NON EMERGENCIES aren't more important than every other passenger on the tram and it should KEEP MOVING or remove the non emergency from the tram to wait for the ambulance.

What a refreshing change from the rickety Magic Buses with miserable drivers!…read more I recently had to get to Poynton (where?) for an interview and after consulting the GMPTE website, decided that it would be best to take a Baker Bus from Stockport. I didn't really know what I was looking for, but found a brand new yellow and blue bus complete with friendly driver. The driver chatted to many of the passengers and after my A to Z let me down, he helped me find where I had to get off. This bus service (391,392,393) runs from Stockport to Macclesfield and stops in many little places in between. Bakerbus also runs services around Crewe and Stoke. The only problem was that I had to catch the train back, as the next bus wasn't for 2 hours!
