There's been a lot of arguing and insults flying around the forum as late so here's something which can hopefully be both fun and possibly conversation provoking.
I have picked two locations, sat at opposite ends of West Yorkshire.
What I'd like you to do is simply plot a bus journey between the two locations, using as many or as few buses as you like. Why not it will only cost you £4.50!
The route is completely up to you, how long your trip lasts is your decision, although it must be completed within one calendar day.
All individual rides must start and end within West Yorkshire but can cross into another county during the journey as long as you're back in the county before you alight.
Points will be allocated as follows -
Quickest Journey - 5
Most Relaxed (Slowest) Journey - 5 (All connections must have less than 1 hour between the next trip)
Fewest Routes - 5
Most Unique Routes - 5 (Only one one visit per location allowed)
Each Unique Vehicle Type - 1 (Allowable vehicles you have used will be any bus which worked the route at any point during 1st February 2023 per Bustimes, including incorrect ticket machine allocations)
Each Different Operator used - 2 (For this all First/Transdev/Stagecoach divisions will be deemed as being using the same operator and return journeys just to use an operator is not permitted)
Most Enjoyable Route - 8
Most Imaginative Route - 5
Avoiding Leeds City Centre - 3
Mystery Location - Travel through either of the two mystery locations on your journey, which only I know, to receive bonus points - 1 = 2pts, both 5pts
I will pick the most imaginitive route but I'll give at least 24 hours for the forum to discuss the most enjoyable route before I take into account all opinions and decide the winner of this.
The two locations, start in Otley, Finish in Hemsworth......you have until 8pm on Thursday 9th February to post your quick or epic journey here.
Please quote start time, route number, on & off location, operator and bus type you are using for each imaginary journey. A short walk to make connections is permitted but not much more than a quarter of a mile...and no trains.
Please like this post if you are intending to take part, so that I know I'm not wasting my time, although you may want to post your final routes closer to the deadline to keep your secrets secure, no editing after the deadline though! I've tried to think of all the obvious ways to cheat but might have to tweak things if people enjoy the game and there is a round 2.
