You are Ed Wills and I claim my £5 (you can pay me out of the £28 million)

 

[LamieRobertson]

Spend it wisely after they’ve paid me a big fat consultancy fee

Run more busses so you don't have to wait ages for one.

As always the simple solutions are the best.

Paint them black
Black as night
Black as coal

More electric buses, and more bus stops with boards with estimated waiting times.

 

[albionalbino]

Build a monorail.

 

[m@goo]

Individual cubicles so you don't have to sit next to anyone else.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Cheaper fares.

Oh, and more than a half-hourly service back to Lewes after evening games.

Put a service on that goes north of Upper Shoreham road

B&H Buses are an absolute dream compared with the appallingly shoddy service we get in Worthing (from Stagecoach).

There are only a few stops that have departure boards and invariably they are wrong and they never get updated when a service is running late or cancelled.

B&H has onboard announcements for the next stop and tells you if the bus is stopping there. Stagecoach has nothing.

From the start of covid B&H buses had sanitiser. Stagecoach did nothing.

B&H buses and the drivers are generally clean and tidy. Stagecoach not so much.

I could go on. The B&H bus service is PL compared to Worthing which is hovering around County league. But its Stagecoach operating a monopoly; it's all about the profit.

Yes, change the routes. At the moment every bus crawls past Churchill Square and North Street. Some could go other routes, such as down New England Hill, Viaduct Road etc. Something which links the station to the sea front, the i360 and the King Alfred

Better maps on the bus stops so people are less likely to be spending 10 mins talking to the driver about where they need to get to

Other things, more for the council.

No taxis allowed in bus lanes and zones

Red lines where there can be no stopping at all

More bus routes to be car free areas

For us, the 700 Stagecoach bus is by far the best option from Shoreham to Brighton ... very direct route as opposed to B&H No. 2 bus which goes all over the place!

Stagecoach app works well for buying Day/Night Saver tickets and has live tracking data - so I wouldn't call the Stagecoach service shoddy ... and I say that as the father of a bus driver for B&H! If there was a B&H bus with a more direct route to Brighton I would use it however.

I do believe b&hove bus company since covid have been looking at trailing new & different routes as of yet they haven't made any decisions.1 thing I would to like see brought back like they use to do a few years ago would be if a particular route got very busy or if a bus or 2 got cancelled would be to have relief buses on standby ready to go.

Most of those routes have not been changed for many years and don't really account for changes in things like shopping habits or the existence of the bypass.

For example, they could add some regular routes across the top of the city link using the by-pass to make it easier for people to get across from Mile Oak and Hangleton over to Hollingbury, Coldean and even the Uni / Amex. I'm sure that the retailers around ASDA would be happy to support that.

As you say, for tourists, there is no quick from the station to the seafront or along the seafront. A seasonal service from the Marina through to the King Alfred with an open top bus would probably be quite well used if reasonably priced.

Return to 30' interval pre Covid service on the routes that venture into Kent, and similar interval service on on those services on Sundays.

We used to have the 77 that went from the palace pier to the devil's dyke with limited stops .west street grand AVE king Alfred Sackville rd greyhound track but it wasn't used much but then again not many people new about it

Good luck with a challenge when playing Scrabble.

While you may not like busses it is a valid archaic variant.
