Greater
Manchester Passenger Transport Executive
Bus
passengers in Manchester shared memorable journeys with other travellers
by text message using our Anywhereblogs mobile phone service.
Greater
Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) displayed posters
for us at a total of 500 bus stops across Greater Manchester over
18 months, asking the question “Where were you happiest to arrive
and why?”
Passengers
waiting for the bus could either add their own memory to the list
or read one written by some else.
The
messages sent in were happy, sad, funny and moving, and helped travellers
to share a sense of community with the other people using a valuable
public service.
“Where
were you happiest to arrive and why?”...
the
8 to bolton every tuesday night for a couple of pints with the lads
to break the working week. Can't beat it!
Happiest
to arrive back at the hospital the morning after my little girl
had been born :-)
The
375 terminus at Shiloh Road - it has to be Manchester's loneliest
bus terminus, with sweeping moorland views
