My comments in the "Any extra comments box".
Stop car drivers from parking and driving in the bus lanes on Winter Street.
First's weekly passes are also too expensive. There are only so many journeys that I can make in a day. Generally I make two journeys a day. One to work, and one back. A tram pass costs 8.00 a week and is far better value than a First bus pass which costs 11.00. I would make a lot more use of the busses (and spend more money on them) if the weekly passes were cheaper.
Weekly passes also make the busses faster. Flashing a weekly pass at the driver is much quicker than paying for a ticket on every journey. The busses would be far more reliable and on time if drivers took less time to take everyone's fares.
A weekly pass cheap enough to be attractive to most users of the busses would be a great improvement to the whole system.
Another solution to this problem would be to put conductors on the busses at peak times to allow the driver to drive whilst the conductor collects the fares.
I suggest that if First were charged penalties bases on how late their busses were then they would be given a financial incentive to introduce cheap weekly/monthly passes and carry conductors at peak times.

Very good link.
Also vaguely relevant questionnaire, and I already submitted twice for 2 bus routes, and another about Plan4Sheffield (really?) for Woodseats and the Sheaf Valley.
Maybe I'm tired, but I thought this thread had something to do with the scenery. Here's me expecting to hear the most visually appealing bus rides around Sheffield!
