Guest grisen Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hi kids!I took the bus, MEGABUS to Dundee last weekend and I havn't been on that bus (or any other bus here in scotland for that matter) before and I was just wondering if you could pay for a ticet from let say, Aberdeen to Dundee,... and then just sit in your chair all the way to Glasgow? or if the busdriver goes aorund checking every passenger on every stop??In sweden it's no problem doing that. (of course you arn't allowed though, but hey..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 not really. they count the amount of people on the bus at every changeover. and since you cant pay for a ticket while on the bus, it has to be an advanced booking, you'd just get kicked off and stranded. unless of course, someone who had booked a seat just HAPPENED to have not turned up and you were, for lack of better words, a luggy fugger.

catherine Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 i always end up booking more than i need. like for halloween ive booked two buses coming back. so i can decide nearer the time if i need o be back home early or if i can stay in bed longer. and all ive lost out on is 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhiannon Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Also they put your luggage in different compartments depending on where you're going, so if you ticket said to Dundee, you may get off at London, but your suitcase would be sitting waiting in Dundee...

Michael MacLennan Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 another episode in the catalogue of bright sparks who place their intentions of illegality into the public domain...Yeah, because I'm sure the elite Megabus police squad scan the pages of aberdeen-music.com on a daily basis to catch out the fraudsters intending to do them out of a pound. Next time anybody see Grisen he'll be running away hurriedly from an annoyed-looking, leather-faced Tommy Lee Jones, cursing the day he was taught how to use computers as he decides whether it's really a good idea to leap off that dam.

Guest tv tanned Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Grisley' date=' pictured this morning[/b'] On the run from the Megabus Elite Turbo Death Squad, Grisen wishes he'd just chosen Citilink instead, as his mother had originally told him to.*poor man's Zombie Munch* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael MacLennan Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 *poor man's Zombie Munch*It was an 'affectionate tribute'. Besides, if I wasn't so moronic that I couldn't get the picture to show on the post, I GUARANTEE you would have laughed until your spleen somehow popped out of your nose, given those HILARIOUS posts that you... oh, you deleted them for some reason. How odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 shh, don't tell anyone about the greatness of national express...i've only ever been on the megabus once, and i was completely wasted coming back from Dundee at midnight, I can't remeber anything about the experience at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
