I travelled on a train about 15 years ago. Never again.Buses? They are those big things that used to take you to school?Even if they dropped me door to door I dont think I could get on one.

Don`t forget to speak really loudly on your mobile phone. I`m sure all the other passengers want to know what is going on in your life

nice thread

I am a regular user of public transport,have been for 40 years ,and have lost count the number of arguments i have had with bus drivers/conductors.they are the most jobsworthy people on earth,you would think its there money,after you have gone past the stop you have paid for,or i am not accepting that Scottish £20 note,or the dreaded you can not get on this bus with that burger and *****

ps i am in a long standing case involving misuse of a bus pass which was not my fault,due to an oversight by a transport inspector,my solicitor thinks i will win the case if it goes to court.

they dont like you not having the exact change, though not in too many coins. if its £4 then 4 pound coins are acceptble but a £5 note is nearly a criminal offence. but on the other hand 2 pound coins, 2 50s and 5 20s is usually frowned upon also. its advisable to carry a small bank with you on every journey. also you need to know the bus driver code for where you want to get off. if say just outside the nags head pub the driver presses lots of buttons then reads some laminated card thing and says you mean "lower bottom nortonfield south" oh do i? do i really?

was it a real ni88er gang or was a crappy soft one?

cos my incident was a crappy soft one, i'd need to give them a soft nod to make sure they were taken

in parts of the West Mids the drivers are encased behind bullet proof glass

you simply drop the EXACT change into a thin slot (there's no time or room for discussion here-the regulars know the drill)
the bus driver (who speaks brief broken english) will STARE at you ! .. STARE at your change in said slot .. STARE back at you (i assume to double check your not on any Bus Terrorist List) ..

then WHACKS a big button which whizzes you a ticket out :|

The north as well as Scotland is just as rough thank you!

they have the glass here but theres quite a big gap which seems to defeat the purpose really.
