ISN'T it time something was done to improve our bus service. The circular bus service of the 536/537 is the worst in Bolton, and after years of complaints, as well as petitions etc from numerous passengers, nobody seems to care.

Our route number 536/537 should run one every half hour. Three or four times per week one bus is missing, therefore we stand waiting three quarters of an hour in freezing cold quite often. On one estate alone, there are 60 bungalows for senior citizens. They are prisoners in their own homes, as this service is so bad and unreliable.

I have seen them standing for an hour absolutely frozen. Also people wait to go to work on the bus, then it does not come, so they are late for work. The same applies for the evening buses from 4pm to 6pm. There are five estates on this route, so it's not a short route. Someone should sort this out. We have had enough.
