00:00Many changes have been made to the Bristol bus network from the start of September of

00:06this year. The changes are part of a bi-annual review of routes by First West of England.

00:12But do locals get on with the Bristol bus services?

00:17I don't really use Bristol public transport. Yeah, I tend to cycle or drive around so when

00:25I have used the buses, yeah, they tend to be late. Although I do use the inter-rail

00:30so I get the train from Clifton down to Lawrence Hill and Stapleton Road sometimes and that's

00:35pretty good.

00:36I'd say I haven't waited very long for the buses. I think maybe a few of them have been

00:41late here and there but it still could have been a lot worse I feel like, yeah.

00:47Among the changes is a 70 series of bus services which has extended some of the routes into

00:53the south of its Hengrove depot ahead of the 74 electric buses that will be coming

00:58to the city in 2025.

01:01I think they should do that because it's pretty evident that there's a lot of congestion

01:08in Bristol and I think if there was better public transport it would potentially alleviate

01:14some of that stress. So yeah, I think definitely more money for public transport.

01:20I think that's a good idea, yeah. I think it's long time needed. Like I said, I haven't

01:28used them recently but my memory of them that they were quite limited and often late so

01:32I think that's a good shout.

01:33I'm really enjoying the trains because obviously there's a station right nearby here which

01:38I really find convenient and the fact that I can get a really cheap train all around

01:44Bristol is also really nice. So yeah, I like the trains here. I've also used the buses

01:50quite a lot so I feel like they're also pretty solid from my experience. So yeah, overall

01:56I feel like it's pretty good.
