Recently I've noticed a strange new trend in Manchester. Several services in Manchester now have numerous routes depending on what time or day it is. I'm not talking about slight changes, I'm talking about hugely different routes!
For example, service 188 runs from Sportcity to Manchester Royal Infirmary during weekday daytimes, Chorlton to Belle Vue during Monday Saturday evenings and Chorlton to Piccadilly on Sundays! Where's the sense in that? The daytime route is almost completely different from the route the rest of the time! Other culprits are the newly revised service 54 and also service 84 which takes three different routes beyond Chorlton depending on the day and time.
So, my call to people planning bus routes at the operators and at GMPTE is to *please* stop confusing people and use some different service numbers! What's wrong with 189, 54A, 84A and 84B? It would certainly help people know where their bus was going!
