Robbored Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I wonder why it took the club so long to use public transport for advertising. It's not exactly an original idea after all. Maybe it was the bus company prices that were prohibitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliesboots Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 At least there's a decent chance those ads will still be circulating around Bristol for the next few years the rate they get changed... And the traffic moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly economies of scale if Bristol Sport are also booking rugby advertising (as per Temple Meads). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhistleHappy Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Off topic but regarding winter buses.... ( mobile germ infested saunas, steamed up to the max with all windows firmly shut ensuring few sneeze / cough propelled cold and flu germs escape... who needs fresh air when you can mix and share the sweaty body odours and breath of 50+ strangers all steaming away in a glorious broth of f cu k knows what diseases? Get yer day riders here, and f'king die! ) Am I the only one who can't understand why people would prefer to sit in a miserable steamy swamp (as long as they stay warm) rather that let a bit of fresh ( but cooler ) air in by opening a window and demisting and de bugging the whole f'ing germ infested filthy cesspit of transported misery? Coughs and sneezes spread diseases .... its like everyone appears to not give a shit about that anymore, buses in wintertime are worse than sitting in a packed doctors waiting room on a Monday morning. Oh what joy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I've spent time in Spain they're so useful, fast, cheap and reliable. I'd love a tube system in Bristol. With regards to First, there needs to be an actual competitor to them, they are just lazy. I detest them but it's my only way to work. They were on the recieving end of a strongly worded tweet a few weeks ago when 0 busses arrived in 45 minutes- a time frame where 4 should have been and gone from that stop- the time period being from 5.45- 6.30 am, so it's not even like there was much (read: any) traffic at that time! This was just a day or two after they raised the prices, citing service improvements as the lead reason. Since then the only busses that I've been on which have actually been on time are the ones that I get on at the very start of the route, and even some of those are late!

The last 15 years being a major reason for this. I grew up in Kingswood, and always knew more City than Gas both at school and after. Some Gas pubs (Archers), but equally City (Cobblers), and some both. My local was the Flowerpot, with Gas in the Bar and City in the Lounge (more sophisticated you see!!).
