Fed up with late buses, poor bus service

181 Lewisham - Downham
I'm fed up with the terrible bus service between Lewisham and Downham in South London. The buses are always late and the drivers are just downright rude. Has anyone else experienced this?

| 22-6-2007 | Waiting is not the problem. It's not knowing how long you might have to wait. There is nothing you can do at a bus stop except wait for a bus. If you have your head in a newspaper the driver'll probably ignore you and drive on. If you knew how long you had you could go and do something more ...more | JimmyO |
| 12-4-2007 | Well! if you Kentish Men want your bus, pay for it. We Londoners ain't going to stump up the funds for this cinderella service.
In fact the money saved we'll spend it on the 181. | Give the 492 away |
| 12-4-2007 | well you obviously never had to take the 492 bus route then, its definatley the worst service in london....it only runs twice and hour and they quite often cut one out which menas if you just missed one its an hour wait..add to that that they are frequently late(up to half an hour) you could wait 90...more | kary |
| 09-4-2007 | Most sensible cities have trams. Sensible town planners plan routes for them before they authorise new housing and trading estates.
Bring back the tram. It is by far the most efficent means of moving around a city.
It's going to take London another 50 years before it corrects the mis-manag...more | Timothy the Tram |
| 08-4-2007 | Come to Hereford. We have the most backward, inept, most expensive and infrequent bus service outside of Khazakstan. The buses are old and half are badly maintained and kick out more smoke than a lorry fire, the drivers are all miserable, overweight, shodilly dressed oafs that grunt at you, and the ...more | Bike Bear |
| 01-12-2006 | The 181 needs ro become a bigger bus and extend its route form Grive Park to Pumstead and it definetly needs to be much much bigger like a double decker | Anon |
| 15-11-2006 | Come and try the C11 - I'm not sure there's a worse bus service on earth. | Jerry Bababooey |
| 24-9-2006 | Now the 181 service has been extended to grove park station and changed from Stagecoach Selkant to Metrobus this service runs more often alone the 225 but the 181 comes more often than the 225 | Gerard |

| 08-6-2006 | Yardoflager may not have noticed but Satgecoach have now lost the contract to run the 181. Hope he finsd the new lot rather mroe obliging. | Ceejay |
| 21-4-2006 | jk12 is obviously a London bus driver and presumably works on the 181 service. Come on man, the gripe is about poor bus service. It's an issue that is easy enough to solve, we'll do the big things later! | Richard |
