Can't understand how anyone in Aberdeen - that's if you work in Aberdeen - can manage with public transport. Its pretty damned dire and tbh I'd rather walk than do the bus. Mind you one of my colleagues swears by it because on one particular route she can lug into all the gossip that some would rather she didn't know. When she encounters some of her former clients she's been invited to join them for a dram, or a swig - only if the driver's nae looking of course. She reckons the entertainment value compensates for the inferior and expensive service.
