It took me a little while to decide what to post about and decided this would be interesting to share.
A few years ago, the village I live in and the surrounding communities were faced with losing their bus services.
Since I rely on public transport to get about (when it's working it's much more convenient than driving and parking), I led a campaign to save those vital bus routes by rallying seven communities and their leaders.
It was a lot of work and we had to make do with a very limited bus service for six months but we got it back.
Now every time I see one of those buses, I can't help feel a little bit of accomplishment. It's there because the people spoken up and I made sure they were heard.
So, yeah I know far more about bus routes and planning than I ever wanted to know, but it was worth it.
Hilariously, I get asked about buses pretty much every time I go out, even by people who have no idea about any of what happened.

What do you think of bus services for free? Is it possible?
