At the focus group ….
When people talk about buses people say..
No late buses so I can’t go out in the evenings.
Country people are worse off.
I don’t like buses ‘cos people are sometimes rude to me.
Bus drivers don’t let my companion travel with me.
I lost my travel pass and it took a long time to get a new one.
