RE: Leeds feels different

belemo in Rant, Complain, Talk • last year

For what it's worth, I only used like five buses in total but I noticed that the trips/commutes felt like we were going straight from one end to another. At Nottingham, the buses sort of meander about different settlements and two of the same buses always meet along the route but on opposite sides of the road, making it seem like they're moving in a cycle.

Something I also forgot to add is that in Leeds, bus drivers give you change after you pay. In Nottingham, you are required to pay the exact price for the bus ticket.

Ah, I got ya!

I know bus drivers can be mean sometimes, but I often have good experiences. Last week my card would not work using the tap on the bus. The driver tried a few times and it didn't work. I thought he'd ask me to come off, but he said, "Go take a seat." I asked him if he wanted to try my card again when I was getting off, and he said no, it's ok.
I thanked him very much. It was a 40-minute ride to a location that I'd never been to before, all for £2.

Oh yeah, bus drivers are nice like that. I've seen that happen a few times as well.

Seeing that in Leeds was a bit of a culture shock for me. I was always under the impression that it was the same all over the country but yeah, that's why I said the differences between cities is nuanced in the similarities

I look forward to seeing more of the country whenever I get time off work.

Yeah, the contrast in the places is definitely worth it:)
