15 minutes to get your call answered NOT

The message says approx a 15 minute wait to have your call answered. I've just been on 28 minutes and so fed up of listening to their music I've given it up as a bad job. They're either needing more staff, all on holidays or so sick of talking to people complaining they've all either gone on strike, called in sick or just walked out and who can blame them.......

Hi Cath, I am very sorry to hear you have had to wait for a while to get through to us. I apologise for any hold time yesterday , it is our busiest period of the year with the back to school season. Having looked at yesterday, our longest wait time was just over 6 minutes. If you would like to send an email to Info@Metrobus.co.uk I would be happy to look into this further for you ^Millie

Spoke to Carol and Leslie

Spoke to Carol and Leslie, made the process both fast and easy. A welcoming environment that almost makes me want to lose something again.

Service is awful

Service is awful, had bus drivers tell me off demanding that should be at the bus stop 5 mins before she arrives like she owns me or something, when ever I tap on the payment for the fair gets declined but I still get charged on my bank account, so they keep scamming me, their driver allow drunk people to get on the bus who then threaten to rape female members of the public and even children and get in a huff when they have to deal with them, £3 pound for a ticket to travel 3 stops at times for a good awful service, buses never arrive on time and even disappear entirely at times, you complain but all you get is a sorry and the crap continues...hate this bus service.

Thank you Metrobus!

Thank you to the honest person who handed in my wallet, which was left on a bus. Saved me having to replace my bus pass, driving license, health card and various other items. And, thank you to the team at Metrobus, especially Carol who turned detective and tracked me down through my dentists! Thank you Carol and your colleagues for all of your help.

I expect nothing and am still disappointed

If I'm scheduled for work but don't turn up - I don't get paid.

If Metrobus are scheduled for a pick up but don't turn up - nothing.

Edit - it happened again 2 hours later. Disappeared from the board when it was due in 2 minutes. Jokers.

Helpful staff

My wife left her phone on the bus. It was found by a Metrobus employee who delivered it safely to the Crawley depot. We were able to pick it up the following day with no hassle at all. Everyone involved was courteous and really helpful.
