The 393 bus travels a route that is particularly busy on weekday mornings and the irregularity of the buses means that buses are always full to capacity and often do not stop at the bus stops.
There is increasing frustration at the low number of buses on the route in the morning when many people use the service to travel towards Holloway to Highbury and Islington train and underground station.
Parents with children and the elderly have been left at bus stops when the buses are too full and it is a regular occurence to wait 30 mins for a bus that is supposed to arrive every 12 minutes.
Tempers are beginning to fray with an increased number of arguments between bus drivers and passengers with little resolution to the problem.
I personally have made complaints and a number of people I know that use the service have also logged their frustration at the service.
We call on Arriva and Transport for London to increase the number of buses to service the greater number of passengers using the service in the morning.
We, the undersigned, call on Arriva and Transport for London to improve the reliability and capacity on the 393 bus route between Holloway and Clapton, particularly travelling towards Holloway.
Due to their infrequent nature the buses are often full to capacity and unable to take any more passengers.
Although the buses are supposed to arrive every 12 minutes there is often a 30 minute gap between them which leaves people unable to plan a journey to work or school.
