As well as trains, I have been on a few buses. Some excellent services that show just what can be done and in places is done.

In my opinion two of the best bus networks I have experience of are Southern Vectis on the Isle of Wight and Transport for Cornwall.

On the Island there is a frequent service throughout the day and into the evening.  There is a regular service on most routes on a Sunday, some night buses and even services on Christmas Day.

The alliance of operators in Cornwall combine to produce a network across the county with common ticketing and limited duplication of services.

A bonus is that both also produce printed timetables - although the Cornwall version has got so big it is no longer a convenient A6 pocket sized guide but an A4 book!
