We live in a place that we have to take 414 to go to school if we don't want to transfer to another bus. The problem of 414 is that it is scheduled 1 bus per hour and the last one to go home is 6 pm during weekday. There is no service for bus 414 in weekend and public holiday. OK, we adjust our schedule to fit into its schedule.
The bigger problem is that it always comes late. Sometimes it delays 10 minutes, that's OK, but most of time it delays 15-25 minutes for both directions or until we give up after 20 minutes waiting and take other bus to Toowang and transfer to another bus to school.
In one day morning in July, all passengers gave up after waiting 30 min and take transfer way. It delayed >20 minutes in one morning of last week. Then it happened again this morning and all passengers (>10) gave up and some people asked their family member to drive them to school and some took transfer way such as us.
I don't know what's wrong with the bus and driver. The bus stop we are waiting in the morning is almost the start. There is nobody on bus when it arrives every time. There is no traffic in this suburban living area. I don't understand why it can delay so much. The bus stop we are waiting in the evening in school is the start, and the bus never comes without people (>40) waiting more than 15 minutes. The estimated driving time is 25 minutes, but sometimes the waiting time is longer than that.l

Not only the bus is not on time, I think the "SMART" "go card" should be renamed as Stupid card.
I totally agree with you. My go card has problems several times in the past and we have to call translink to deal with the problem.
After sending complain, maybe also by many other people, bus 414 is on time now. Very impressive.
Hey, it happened to bus 415 too. Very funny. It made me feel that the bus driver was trying to show us around.
