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

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.Quote:

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

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

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

Sorry. This turned into a bit a of a rant.
Exactly! It's a vicious circle.Quote:

Public transport here is poor in general. I can quite easily get the bus and train from where I live into town but to get to other parts of the city would take 10 times longer than just driving. I'm also not a fan of how early the services stop in the evening.
Hopefully in 20 years the metro fixes dome of these issues, if that ever really happens.
Never understood the lack of services on holidays, there must be enough people who would happily work or those that don't celebrate it to at least run skeleton services.
Nurses, Taxi Drivers, Pilots, Power/Utility engineers, TV & Press personnel, Supermarket staff, Retail staff, etc, etc. Probably a few million, but not Cardiff Bus obviously.Quote:
