    I wonder how many people who criticise actually use them. I have to attend Morriston and Singleton hospitals and find them extremely convenient and more comfortable than the usual single deckers. I suspect most critics are car drivers.

    So,in 2009 they didn't realise how much fuel they drink and they needed more staff?

    I agree. I rarely use the bus but know of several pensioners who have to attend Morriston and Singleton hospital regularly who have independently told me that they are great.

    For that much money they could have rebuilt Singleton Hospital next to Morriston Hospital.

    Swansea Council are a complete shower of ****, always have been.

    I wonder how many people have had near misses with them actually use them? We know how many people they have killed so we won't go there.

    I criticise them because they've been a complete waste of tax payers money .just think what novel idea get the same amount of travellers on them they could have resorted to using double deckers ,. No need to faff about with an already disjointed road system either .

    I have had a near miss but it was on the opposite dual carriageway where the traffic is moving in the wrong direction. Double deckers would have been no use to me with my athritic knees.

    or the rest of you if you had the misfortune of being struck by one .It's a pity no one will be held accountable , if they were then maybe the powers would think twice before approving other such schemes
