Been a while since a post on here, now in the east and part of team green! #lothian #busdriving

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@joycrobross @on_lothianbuses Some drivers might be carrying some paper timetable pamphlets as well, feel free to ask for one!

@ajm22386 @EastCoastBuses you can’t buy a day ticket which is not valid in the zone you’re boarding the bus in, plain and simple…

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@raymondgray63 @LiamRudden @on_lothianbuses The Night Bus is not funded & completely off the companies back so to therefore not have too high losses they charge premium fares and don’t accept NEC passes. In order for NECs to become valid the government / council need to agree to pay for it in the way NEC fares are normally

@trainsimworld A SIXTH game to get now that is a complete joke 😂😂😂
why not just stick with one game, this franchise has been around for nearly a decade and it has just been a graphically improved cash grab…

@RonaldGDVeitch @LothianCountry Roadworks been causing chaos recently

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@GorgieLoyal82 @LothianCountry There’s 7 minutes to do the stretch of nat speed limit road between winchburch and kirkliston ( which takes like 2 in a bus) so instead of leaving ontime then having to sit in kirkliston for upto 5 mins some drivers leave late to then not have to sit for ages which is annoying.

@katie_crake @LNER LNER QR codes won’t work / exist on ScotRail services so you’ll only have physical ticket options from GLQ.

@UKLabour The only change that’s noticeable is the country becoming an Islamic hellhole

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@Pepper59569815 @LothianCountry This has been the case since the service change 4 months ago which there was plenty of notice online.

@PolitlcsUK Appreciate the message, now stop arresting people for praying and preaching thanks 🫶

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@EssexPR @Keir_Starmer Wilful ignorance at this point.

They would rather arrest someone for saying this nonsense should be stopped because it’s legitimately DANGEROUS vs actually addressing the problem.

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@nazipova @on_lothianbuses It may have been full, usually the only reason where a driver would not stop unless for whatever reason they missed you.

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@sheilamurray34 It’s Edinburgh on a Friday and buses can’t leap frog cars and red lights, fill a formal complaint instead of raging to social media teams.

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@kundalini2020 @inquisitor111 @FirstinGlasgow surely you are taking the piss mate

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@WeesuperstarAl @FirstinGlasgow Means you ended up on my 88, believe there have been issues with driver availability if I am not mistaken. Sorry for your wait.

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@paddy9990 @FirstinGlasgow It has moved there yes

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@liloliloll @FirstinGlasgow Hello! £5.20 sounds about right, usually is the fare from Lenzie and also Muirhead, they’re still in the city zone but the fare is buffed up, I honestly don’t know why - to me makes no sense because it’s the same price as a return, the motorway is the only thing I can guess tbch

[David Mainor @dmainor_]

@114jamie @DenisAlexand3r @FirstinGlasgow Our job is to safely drive and navigate road conditions, from my experience it’s either a case of being patient and polite at the cost of time, or absolutely rushing it which isn’t good but ontime, loose loose tbh. Personally I’d rather be late and have a nice drive than rush.
