FREE?! FREE!? You have got to be kidding! Have you not trawled through the numerous threads about "First" our bus company, who despite making numerous prices increases, have made 90-odd million in profit! :o

Heh, I wish!

We're responsible for First mainline's huge margin of profit.

Depending where you are in Nether Edge, I'd make your way towards Sharrow lane and London rd. Continue down London rd, then cross over to the Moor. Go up the Moor and little way down Pinstone St. turn right and cross Arundel Gate at Howard Hs. Your practically at Sheffield Hallam Uni.

Thats the route I'd take. Don't know how long it would take tho.

Oh! I'm pleased to know that, i thought at one time they were given bus passes..... why should they or anyone else ride free anyhow ?

Um, because some people can't afford to pay First's obscene charges?! People on benefits for instance, such as people on the dole who need the bus services to get to interviews etc?! :rolleyes:

Hey poppins, it must be really difficult, single-handedly supporting the world economy, what with you being the only person on earth with a job.

I hope this walking doesn't catch on; we'll need wider footpaths and narrower roads.
