Public transport in Milton Keynes, what public transport? It's in a right mess and if you are thinking of leaving the car at home and taking the bus I'd advise you to think again!

| 16-5-2008 | It might interest people to know - if their bus doesn't show and they get a taxi, they can get a receipt from the driver, call MK Metro on 0844 800 44 11 and complain - tell them you got a taxi and a receipt and they should set about investing.... most of the time they will ask for the receipt a...more | Nora |
| 16-5-2008 | I live in Milton Keynes - imagine how I feel, and its ironic that I find this post after being forced to get a taxi to work because my bus didn't show up at all. | Larkin |

| 10-3-2008 | I used to get the bus In the morning from my village In Mk to the trainstation, now Ive just given up as Is was getting up to near 45 mins late, so I'd obiously miss my train! I think the service is crap! they really need to sort it out. | I hate buses |
| 03-3-2008 | Whilst there can always be excuses after excuses for late buses, or even buses that don't run at all.............
........there is never any excuse for
.........a bus departing it's stops ahead of the scheduled time

It's not Milton Keynes Council that 'grant' MK Metro the right to run the services, it's a commercial operation by the bus operator just like the airlines and is the same as it is everywhere else in the country...except London!!! | Ryan 42 |
| 20-2-2008 | Ha! I'm about to start working in Bicester (Branch consolidation apparently) so will be making the journey the other way. I've every faith that the X5 will be efficeint in getting me to and from Bicester/MK in good time although I will be on a tight schedule.
However, having used the buse...more | thedacs |
| 07-2-2008 | you really dont know what your on about. the reason that the bus service in milton keynes is so bad is because it was designed as a drivers city, and the grid road system makes it virtually impossible to run an effective bus service that covers all of milton keynes. | erghhhhhh |
| 25-1-2008 | "Common Sense" is absolutely right that MK is run as a "driver's city".
The surprising fact is, though, that it didn't have to be, as its grid of streets was originally supposed to support a network of trams!
I live in a popular residential suburb and work for one...more | Gah! |
| 23-1-2008 | Atlease twice a week I need to call a taxi as the either the bus is running late or have not come at all. It is the worst bus service in UK. | Abrahim |
| 22-1-2008 | "The simple fact is that many MK residents have a bit of cash to burn (if you don't you end up living a little bit closer to the centre... *ahem*).
It would be unfeasible to operate a London-style bus service for a relatively small percentage of residents who don't have their own trans...more | Exasperated |
| 27-12-2007 | MK is a driver's city. Look at the grid network and the general distribution of housing. While you may state that this is supposed to be for better public transport, it simply provides better roads for all drivers.
