220 Bus at night - completely unreliable for anyone else?

How drunk are you when you're waiting for the bus? 🤭

At closing time there's 220 roughly every half hour until 2am, and every hour after that until 6am

Great service...I haven't needed to get a taxi home from the pub in years

The morning services are also pulled without notice, and afternoon. It's completely random. It's stressful for school children and their families in particular, who are left standing at bus stops and then reprimanded at school for being late.

I can see a bus stop out the window of my office. Twice last week I saw children not being picked up, and trying to get parents to jump into cars to race them in. That's a 40% failure rate.

I've submitted complaints before about services not showing up, and the response each time was that a driver was a no-show for the shift. I don't get why they can't then update the data supplied to the "real-time" app, so you're not standing there expecting a phantom bus.
