calum_gers Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The number of people who get on the bus for two stops or a similarly short journey is ridiculous too, just walk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 The number of people who get on the bus for two stops or a similarly short journey is ridiculous too, just walk! One of the streets beside me has two stops 70 metres apart. Part of me is tempted to travel it by bus. Aberdeen's Union St is probably the worst for the lazy folk you describe though. Given the volume of folk getting their purses out at last minute and all the traffic lights, it's genuinely quicker to walk it. There's been numerous times I've just missed the 1 or 2 for Bridge of Don and simply walked down ahead of it, getting on at a later stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen seems to be really bad for having a ridiculous number of bus stops in a short distance. With work, I've been in several areas of Aberdeen and I've noticed that so many of them will have bus stops that aren't even 50 yards apart. The traffic on Union St is bad enough at times but it can easily take 10-15 minutes just to get from one end to the other on a bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Aberdeen seems to be really bad for having a ridiculous number of bus stops in a short distance. It's to help the people avoid the folk with the charity collection tins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Almost as stupid as the roundabout at St Machar Drive which has traffic lights at EVERY exit. I think you'll find that there aren't any on the Sandilands Dr exit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Also let's vote if we want to see Union Terrace Gardens redeveloped. Oh, everyone is for the plans? Nah, fck yez, we'll put the money elsewhere like building a hotel complex in front of Marischal College - which would be the perfect spot for some more greenery in the city centre. A braw square for tourists and lunchtime chilling. Naw, fck yez. Another concrete, grey joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 A braw square for tourists and lunchtime chilling. Naw, fck yez. Another concrete, grey joke. The more that thing goes up, the more I despise it. That little gap they've left so you can see through to the now completely out of place Provost Skene's House is both comical and horribly depressing at the same time. Couldn't even develop their own front garden for good ffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 There's no traffic lights on the exit towards the beach on that roundabout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) No-one wants to stop at Sandilands Drive. It's even worse than Methil. I actually meant the roundabout at King St/School Road/St Machar Drive where the Spar is. Apologies for getting it wrong. So that'll be two roundabouts on the same road where every major / busy exit (or 8 out of the 9 total exits) has a set of traffic lights (plus additional lights every 100m between them). Genius. There's no traffic lights on the exit towards the beach on that roundabout. Aye there is. Edited June 23, 2016 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 That building site in front of Marischal College is an absolute eyesore. It should be criminal to put something so bogging in front of such a stunning building. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeboy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Copping a 'suspension' for writing "Fùck the pope and the IRA", a perfectly reasonable and personal view. Homophobic posts are cool though, they'll just delete them and let the poster then do it again the same day. Just delete that too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
