AS a relative newcomer to the town,

I feel that the bus service lets it down,

Listening to people as they patiently queue,

Discussing if the bus will arrive when it's due.

Workers and students have timetables to keep,

If late again they are in trouble deep,

Mothers and children, old people too

Are wondering what on earth they will do.

If the bus they are waiting for doesn't arrive

They will wish and wish that they could drive,

When buses arrive late, or not at all

Frustration levels send people up the wall.

We know that bus drivers have problems as well,

The volumes of traffic must be hell,

With fuel prices rising every week

The number of bus passengers is reaching a peak.

Remember Lowestoft is a growing town

So a solution to the problem really needs to be found.
