Jayne Sturch: “Why can’t you put one on around south Willesboro­ugh instead of a great big single-decker that struggles to get around and cause mayhem in the morning in Earlsworth Road?”

Joan Tully: “The good points are the frequency, the comfy seats and much quieter! Our property no longer shakes as a bus passes by and the ornaments stay in place.

“The bad points, little space between seats, both the aisle and the leg room for most men, and a rethink required on some routes! I have yet to try taking my shopping trolley on board!”

Maxine Claire: “Very little leg room. No windows to open. My legs are crushed between the seats. Other than that I think it’s okay.”

Sally Taylor: “Love the frequency of the buses. Had to make a lot of trips to the hospital lately so had proved very handy. I know there is little room but a small price to pay pretty good all round.”

Mary Lawrence: “I use the bus five days a week for work. Paying the same price for an uncomforta­ble ride.”

Lisa Daisy: “I am too nervous to use them as I have a pram. Will I get asked to get off to make way for a wheelchair or is that not applicable anymore as they are more frequent?”

Courtney Alexander: “I don’t like how the doors open outwards meaning drivers have to park away from the curb and watch the poor elderly trying to pole vault off the bus with their walking aids.

“I love that they’re frequent though and clean.”

Julie Moffatt Berry: “It’s lovely not having to wait ages for a bus, but they are just too small. They advertise them being used to go to do your shopping. Good luck being able to get more than one bag on!”

Mason L Stephens: “They are great... and taxi companies have lost my custom. I live on Bentley Road and they have been prompt and quick. I cannot fault them.”

Elane Slade: “Washford Farm gets left with the noisiest buses from 5am sitting with their engines running!”

Allie Cigerli: “Cut out half of the bus route on park Farm. The busiest part of the route!”

Paul Chapman: “It’s a great idea. Could possibly do with being slightly less often, maybe every 10 mins. The other day there were three buses stacked up at the same stop on Bluebell Road.”

Mark Owen: “Maybe give them trailers like the airport minibuses. Prams, buggies and shopping no problem!”

Mark Smith: “Maybe the pot holes will reduce in some areas.”
