But we're talking about allowing free travel, they can hang out in bus stations already without paying. A small proportion of teenagers cause anti social behaviour and they do whether the bus is free or chargeable. To take away this benefit from all teenagers because of just a few bad ones seems...

But doesn't rule out Mobico from bidding for a franchise which seems bizarre.

Not disputing in some areas that there will be some "nare do wells", but it is tarring everyone with that brush as most under 16s are actually absolutely fine yet you're saying you "know they will cause problems."

However, from experience, this happens even when the kids have to pay a fare? This behaviour is also portrayed by those over the age of 15. Again from a small proportion of 'youths.' There is definitely a trend on this forum to tar all young people with this brush of them being bad.

Couple of reasons why stores may do this: 1) To prevent easy mistakes, the packaging and branding on a 0% beer look nearly identical to real beer, which can trick cashiers or allow easy bottle swapping. 2) Retail of Alcohol Standards Group advise using policies like Challenge 25 on alcohol...

That's not how public funding works. I don't avoid paying NI because I don't go to the GP and someone else goes fifteen times in a year. We all pay towards the benefit of the country.

Yep, whilst the 47/48 is now brilliant for those of us on that route, those who need to use 44 and it's many variants... ooof it's a horrible long route.

I guess it depends on what exactly is displayed within the store. I've not used the Facewatch system myself, but certainly in systems I've used the way it's presented is that it says something along the lines of "potential "shoplifter" detected, x% accuracy" - if it presents in this way to...

Agree, it's sad that people go straight to ASB, when in reality it's only a proportionally small (but noticeable) of youths that are bad.

Appears to be more a failure with the customer service team rather than the AI. Just because the software flags the person up, it shouldn't stop the in store team using their own skills to profile the customer. I mean, that's Retail 101.

It's driving up high end cards and storage. But unless you're looking to buy a really high end gaming PC you can absolutely still pick up decent computers for pennies as offices chuck out decent spec'd PCs. I regularly buy, refurbish and sell PCs to family / local people and you can very decent...

I was wondering if it had been done to try and calm Neil O'Brien MP (etc) down. At least they can say those on the 44/A/B/S are getting the top of the line fleet for their increasingly long journey to town. I had expected the anger over the changes to have died down a little by now but it is...

I actually saw a bus in the 'flesh' the other day that is in the new tone of blue and whilst not that different to the existing fleet it did look nice. It's a shame they've gone so conservative, though.

Yes, same, I've took the kids in to town a couple of times in the past week as it's cheaper now to do rather than pay for parking when all four of us our travelling. As part of my travels I've spent a full 4 days on buses this month mainly at weekends and I've not noticed any issues above and...

It's interesting that since the Wigston changes the 47/48 quite often has packed single decks and the 44/A/B seem to have hardly used new double deckers.

The issue with this is that quite often hand made posters made through Canvas / other desktop based tools can often be mistaken for being AI. I've had people state before things I've made are AI even when they're not! Conversely, I've had AI generated content that has been applauded for being...

I think sadly the X1 is now just normal buses (though they are eVoRas wich are a personal favourite) as they use the busway. The X5 really misses the coaches in my opinion.

Second part of my travel from the furthest point east to the further point west using the Travel for West Midlands nBus day pass for £5.50. Hope you enjoy!

You're naive if you think you are avoiding every business that uses generative AI. I would argue that any medium to large size business is using generative AI. I work for a multi national and whilst you wouldn't know as a customer we're using it, we're much much much bigger users of it for...

Vibe coding is just another tool to help people achieve something they otherwise wouldn't be able to do without significant time in learning how to code by hand. It fills a function, but you'll always get haters as it's not "pure", similar to how people hated Visual Basic when that wrote your...
