Cardiff Bus

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Curitiba in Brazil has probably the best bus service in the world and I am not alone in saying that. However Cardiff Bus ain't bad and now I have my free bus pass, I just love it. With time on my hands and nothing to pay, it has converted the whole city into a village. I just go down town or down the Bay whenever I like.
All the buses have a GPS system and that means that the LED display at the bus stops will tell you that the no. 27 will be there in 3 minutes. Well, that's the theory; in practice, the bus stop displays are a pretty good guide to what's not happening so they need to work on it. No matter, they keep you wondering - will it be the 53 or the 21? Oh no, it's a 23.
And then on the newer buses we get TV with the BBC news 24/7.
Great innit?
