Pulse sets blood boiling

IN response to Wendy Taylor's letter (Herald, March 18) quoting the increase in bus fares and wheelchair users, a far more blatant waste of money relates to the Pulse service's 10-minute intervals.

Having to attend Southlands Hospital, I have stood at the Brougham Road/Ham Road crossing waiting for the No. 9 bus for 25 minutes whilst four Pulse buses passed opposite.

I have also waited 30 minutes whilst five Pulse buses passed opposite and on another occasion, waited 22 minutes and watched four Pulse buses pass.

Did Stagecoach conduct a census as to whether or not a 10-minute service was needed?

No, an increase in fares will cover drivers' wages and fuel, not to mention maintenance and cleaning.

Where in Great Britain do you have a 10-minute service?

The total amount of passengers on the 13 buses was 25 and they were all heading for Worthing and Durrington between 3.30pm and 4pm.

Please can we have consumer inspectors monitoring what we are paying for?
