Looks like no public transport available for our home game v Coventry. Cardiff Blues are also at home v scarlets.

They say they want the public to leave their cars at home and catch busses, but there’s no bloody busses

Looks like there is a reduced service on Boxing Day, but finishing about 5pm

Re: Boxing day

If you want more people to use public transport, then public transport needs to be available when people want to use it.

There are no Cardiff Bus services on Boxing Day.

Re: Boxing day

There wasn't any public transport when we played Spurs on New Year's Day in 2019. The traffic was absolute carnage around the stadium before and after the game.

That would require some common sense present in them that's in charge.

Re: Boxing day

It's been like it for years. No trains, buses. It's a disgrace. I think there are plenty of people these days who would happily work all over the Christmas period. Me and Mrs C don't bother with any Crimble stuff, it's just another day.

It's all a joke town centre was rammed on Sunday with hundreds of cars belching out pollution fumes .

Re: Boxing day

Minimal street parking as well as many people will stay at home.

Whereas more and more businesses seem to be closing on Boxing day to give their staff another day off over the Christmas period.

....which transport companies will use to justify running a reduced or non-existent service on the day.

Whenever I had the chance to work over Christmas and New Year I always took it. Loved getting away from all the tat. Nowadays, with working from home, every day is just another day anyway. The biggest problem for those of us who don't/can't drive anymore is lack of transport. Sure, cabs are available but they're expensive over that period.

Nearly half of December is lost in productivity and any admin centres for anything are usually closed. Meanwhile, competitors across the globe are working/producing/shipping product. This makes me sound like a right slave-driver but it's not the case. I just think we've turned the whole thing into a longer and longer luxury we can't afford, at any level.

Sorry. This turned into a bit a of a rant.

Exactly! It's a vicious circle.

Re: Boxing day

Surely the people who have to do the job either it be bus driver or train driver should have the choice to work Boxing Day or choice to spend the day with friends or family
And by the looks they have chosen the latter and so would I
