With politicians travelling the country on battle buses, Sky News speaks to the people who rely on regular buses, and in particular night bus services, to live and work.

We spent a week at the Bolton Interchange to ask for people’s views on the state of the country - and how much faith they have in politicians.

    We've got billionaires looking after other billionaires. We've got food banks and potholes why hasn't our taxes been spent on making the country better.

    Sunak has probably never been on a bus. Helicopter only.
  • Eighty year old lady complaining about the state of the country but can't be bothered to vote. I think that sums up why the country is like it is, apathy.
  • Sunak took all money out of these areas and put it into his rich friends areas
  • Not enough help?? I think the pensioners these days should be thankful for what they've got because when I'm pensioner in like 50 years time I'm going to have nothing at least they were able to buy a house when they were younger and now they can live off their pension I as a working class citizen now will never be able to retire

    I can confirm the buses around Heathrow look like Afghanistan.
  • It’s important to take everything with a pinch of salt. All of the people interviewed expressed their opinion which is based on their personal experience. What we see in this video is what the editors decided to shows us. It’s clear there are people who see opportunities, others are the complete opposite-they look for faults in someone else’s responsibility.

    I note that they are all paying a subsidised price (£2) per journey, and no one mentioned this.

    Keid Starmer is playing it safer than Gareth Southgate. This election is a like for like substitution. Its pathetic.
  • @straychev
    And again they interviewed the 1% of the passengers... the British(mostly white). While in reality those buses are 99% full of foreigners who get to and from work but I never see them being interviewed on TV. Never hear their opinions... Yet when I go on a bus, i rarely ever see any brits ... it's strange
  • Apathy has clearly set in. Didn't vote for 3 terms and thinks its a mess. It's it's a mess vote for the other party instead of making it feel like a kleptocracy.
  • Serious question, is it safe to walk through Tower Hamlets at 2 o'clock in the morning all alone ?
  • I'm on the night train, bottoms up I'm on the night train, fill my cup I'm on the night train, ready to crash and burn I never learn

    There were one or two non-indigenous people in this video who were telling us proudly how they and others like them had benefitted from the UK's generosity. Very nice, but it doesn't seem to have struck these people that the UK didn't actually come into existence for THEIR benefit.
