I have to disagree strongly with most of the damning reviews on this site. I regularly travel by the No 5 or 6, and 95% of the buses are consistently bang on time. In terms of the drivers' attitude, I... See more

Lost Property Policy is a Lie

I left my shopping on the bus. And it was arranged for me to collect my lost property, from the NCT travel centre at market square. When I arrived, the manager told me, that my property had been disposed of. They threw away non perishable items. They breached their lost property policy, which states, they will hold non perishable items of property, for 21 days. Please be warned, NCT are discarding of lost property, because they cant be bothered, to keep hold of it, in accordance with their own policy.

Useless

Useless, never on time, real-time can 1 minute say bus due in 2 minutes then next it's 6 minutes, 79/79a/79b definitely the worst, a few times I've put my hand out but it's not stopped, majority are friendly but get the odd 1 or 2 that are really rude.

-10 Stars

-10 Stars. Buses are never on time. Bus drivers haven’t got any manners or respect whatsoever even starting arguments with passengers and swearing at them. Since the virus the bus drivers have been allowing the bus to be packed and every single seat is taken up by someone and there’s people stood upstairs and downstairs. There’s also particularly rude drivers on the route 28.

Don’t follow Government guidelines

Government guidelines obviously don’t apply to nct...
I’m a key worker, currently on my way to work and the bus is near enough full!
No social distancing measures taken, just let any amount of people on.
It’s disgusting.

Absolutely awful bus service

Absolutely awful bus service! Bus always missing or leaving too early/ failing to stop, because of this bus is overcrowded at peak times and no seats. I have made numerous complaints and never get any reply!

Missed stops, racial discriminations, never on time, and more

The worst bus service ever. Last month, the bus passed my stop three time without any sign that the bus was full. And today, the driver simply discriminated his passenger by forcing me get-off. The driver asked one standee to get off without any reasons. I feel being discriminated by the bus driver as he just tried to expel me off the bus. This is the fourth time I file a complaint about the bus 4 service. The bus license plate is YT6I FFV, and it was operated by a Black driver.

Better than my home town

I have recently moved here as a student and this services has been much better than i have been use too. Always on time and have always been able to get a seat. Gone are the days of waiting 1 hour for a minibus to my village.

Disgraceful Service

Disgusting transportation service, primarily used because it’s essentially the only service inside the city otherwise I’m sure customers would opt for a different business.

Some drivers are okay however the vast majority are rude, classic egocentric men who believe they have a right to treat people with disrespect and carry on their shift. Many drivers wait at stops for ages to chat with other drivers keeping the passengers on a much longer trip than necessary.

Unfortunately I had an incredibly horrible experience where a bus driver stepped out to wait at a stop as, as many often do for a cigarette or phone call, and as I stepped on the doors crushed me and trapped me between them. The bus driver was not concerned for my health but instead berated me for stepping on. After starring at me for a while he decided to open the doors and have a further go at me in front of the other waiting passengers. I was disgusted and physically hurt after this encounter and left a review on their website.

Unfortunately the rudeness does not stop at the drivers. The insurance team for NCTX replied stating they were looking into the incident and then sent me a letter which twisted facts from the cctv and essentially glorified all of the drivers actions and attacked all of mine stating I was in the wrong even by getting crushed by their doors. They even went as far as to end the letter by stating they were confused why I boarded the bus when there was no driver and made me out to be in the wrong. They feigned ignorance in knowing that bus drivers frequently step off the bus while passengers board, especially at that particular stop, as it made a convenient excuse for their actions.

Overall the business is clearly employed by poorly skilled individuals who only work because it’s the only job they can hold and clearly don’t want it.

I am currently looking into legal action against them for endangering my health and if you have had a bad experience with this business I urge you to leave a review on multiple websites so that people can realize how awful their customer service really is.
