Favbug wants to hear your problems using the 162 and 161 along with 184 and 173/174

Favbug would like to hear about any problems on the Frome to Wells via Shepton route and the Frome to Bath via Midsomer Norton route.
Favbug wants to know if you are finding it harder to get to and from work or school do the buses connect well, do you have long enough to spend for a day out etc along with the overall cost. Please leave  a comment as we can use them for a case study.

Utter madness

We used to have a bus every hour to Bath now we have 2 buses in an hour. If you miss one bus you have 10 minutes to catch the next. If you are unlucky enough to miss both buses you have to wait an hour, walk or get a taxi.
Whilst Rode has been cut from the route for most of the day to save 5 minutes off the journey time
