How often do your buses run?

So Wrexham's corrupt council have decided to reduce the buses to where I live even more. They were every hour on a weekday then 2 hours in the evening until 11pm. Plus 4 buses to Wrexham and 4 buses home on a Sunday. Now it's just daytimes and no Sundays.
I live in the middle of the countryside (which is horrible) and have no car so I'm basically screwed.:(

stagecoach are a bloody joke.
That's peak hour frequency, you can double the times for off peak.
I was in the West Didsbury a couple of months ago and the bus service was incredible. At least 5 buses in the space of 20 minutes went past.
Reading all these posts makes me realise how pathetic Wrexham County Borough Council is.
It's not too bad but five minutes drive down the road they've got buses 'every few minutes'.
After 9pm, they become hourly or stop altogether.
Some of them are 24hr routes and we also have a few night buses that stop nearby.
Every 30 minutes evenings/Sundays
They never run every ten mins though and normally 3 turn up all at once
Every 30 mins for one to Glasgow until 1725 Mon-Sat (No sunday service)
However thats from my house to the town centre, if I go there I can get 4 buses to Glasgow, which all have different frequencies and then 4 trains an hour to Glasgow.
An elderly neighbour was telling me that transport round here is worse now than at any time since the second world war.
When fewer people had cars there was a much better service and the last bus through was at 11.30.
We love living here but on the few occassions that our car has been of the road, we have realised how stuffed the pensioners are in the village.
Then there is the buses. We live 2 minutes from the bus stop. And i can get to Cannock & Walsall. Weekdays they are every 20 minutes i think , 30 on a Saturday but no buses on a sunday.
Issue is with our area buses end quite early in the evening. And the one i use to get to my parents is one an hour and finishes early. Plus there is a big gap late at night between 2 of the buses leaving me either stuck waiting 2 hours and getting a bus late. I once had to stop over my parents because i missed the bus and the last one was really late being a friday night i didnt feel safe going back.
Also it is arriva buses which are the worst bus company in the country. Overpriced. £6 for a day saver compared to down the road on the west midlands buses where it is £3.90. Plus they were always on time. If you don't get a late arriva bus you almost faint in shock.
I miss where i used to live for transport. Being in a city has its plus points. However i love being so close to a train station and for a village it could be worse.
