I agree about the use of smart ticketing etc and I am sure it wont be too long before it arrives in Plymouth as Go-Ahead are intending to introduce a scheme across all its fleets eventually. I seem to recall its called something like 'The Key'?didbygrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858408719372985035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-18284038710087970622010-08-27T22:39:17.195+01:002010-08-27T22:39:17.195+01:00were Plymouth Citybus only using the bendybus fron...were Plymouth Citybus only using the bendybus front doors, so that passengers could pay the driver on entry? the best thing with london bendybuses is the oystercard which you just swipe on the reader at the back of the bus and it calculates whether you need a single, return or dayrider ticket and charges whatever is the cheapest option to your account. I would use Citybus more often if they introduced a similar ticketing system hereAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11828686.post-32347121248272376962010-08-26T22:49:22.962+01:002010-08-26T22:49:22.962+01:00I have had several rides on the citaro bendy whils...I have had several rides on the citaro bendy whilst in London. I thought they were fantastic bits of kit up there.<br />Im not sure if they are really needed in Plymouth? However they may attract more users to buses if they did come here.<br />There are far more sharper bends and corners in London than Plymouth so Im sure technically they could be used on routes such as 40/41/43/50 however I cant see them going to Holly Park or Cornwood.<br />The best use would be on Park and ride duties should citybus ever get them back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
