Pity our City
Review of City Line - Bristol by
LostWitness
Advantages: New night buses are good
Disadvantages: Unreliable
...primary bus operator within the City of Bristol and its surrounding area. There is virtually no competition for service in Bristol, despite the de-regulation that took place some years ago, enabling much greater opportunity for companies to compete for, and provide service on bus routes. As a result of this, and other factors, bus services in the area are generally very poor.
Service varies in frequency, quality and reliability from one route to ...

Hop along home - may get you there quicker
Review of City Line - Bristol by
HelsBelsWins
Advantages: Better than walking! Cheaper than taxis
Disadvantages: Infrequent, not good value for money
I used city line buses before I got my car 9 months ago. Now I really appreciate having a car - especially with 2 under 5's.
The buses are cramped, hardly any moving space to get on or off, are usually full, not of old age pensioners going home after a day's shopping, but young to middle aged women, travelling alone who decide to take up a whole seat with themselves and their 10 - 21 shopping bags, leaving no room for anyone to sit down. Perhaps ...

THE BLACK BUS OF CALCUTTA
Review of City Line - Bristol by
Emma1973
Advantages: I will get there.....eventually
Disadvantages: Dirty, smelly, filthy, rude drivers, etc
...
Well Duh!!! This is Bristol City Council! No their way to get people onto the buses is to raise the prices of car parking...by 66%!. In the central car parks it will now cost up to £3 for four hours, more than four it will be £5.50!. On Saturdays it will now cost up to £2.50 for more than 2 hours. This is of course the council ones, the private one in Broadmead can cost up to £15 for the whole day. Apparently this will relieve traffic congestion by ...

The Rattler
Review of City Line - Bristol by
neiltom88
Advantages: it gets you home
Disadvantages: endless
It’s 5.15pm and you have just finished work in the centre of Bristol. You managed to get a lift into work this morning because your car is in the garage with ‘clutch problems’. You wait at the bus stop in silence for the number 51 bus or as its more commonly known ‘the rattler’. Glancing around you see a bunch of sullen, emotionless faces staring into space, also awaiting the arrival of the rattler. You observe these others discreetly, as you know ...

On and Off the Buses
Review of City Line - Bristol by
Ork1927
Advantages: Good Website
Disadvantages: Terrible, unreliable service
...and I purchased the First City Line timetable,
worked out my route and which bus to catch. Not wanting to be late, I picked a bus
that should have delivered me to my destination with twenty minutes to spare. The
bus arrived on time but took over 35 minutes (it should have been 15) meaning I
was late for the interview.
Luckily, I still got a second interview the week after. This time I was taking no
chances and made sure I got to the bus stop ...

First Bristol
Review of City Line - Bristol by
ricardoz_rox
Advantages: extensive network
Disadvantages: very exspensive, unrelyable around peak hours
I feel i should start this article by saying that the bus company in bristol is no longer cityline, it is now first as it is in many other parts of the country. i also feel that bristol buses often get an unnessisarily negative review. The bus network in bristol is good, and generaly buses in bristol have a relativly good frequency with the vast majority operating at least every 20mins (most every 10mins) up to 17 buses an hour along the gloucester ...
