on monday the bus driver didn't pick me up despite being stood under a lamppost in the village opposite the pub at 7am and he knows i get the bus every morning but i wasn't at the actual bus stop.
this morning this is his catalogue of errors: bearing in mind it was snowy this morning.
1. triggers the light at the 30mph speed trigger thing in the next village
2. picks someone up not at a bus stop
3. gets flashed by an oncoming lorry because he takes over parked cars when imo he should have just waited
4. jumps a red light at shefford
5. gets beeped because he jumps out unnecessarily at a roundabout, he should've just waited
6. picks someone up not at a bus stop
7. both other passengers are looking at me as if to say why is this driver driving so fast
8. he is up the ar.se of another car despite being on a country winding road and clearly putting the poor bas.tard under pressure
9. going through a village he triggers the 30moh speed thing
10. in the same village he stops abruptly, skids and goes over the kerb, and into a hedge that is surroundng someones front garden. v.v.v.lucky not to hit a house or pedestrian or car or something.
should i grass him up? there was no damage i think to the bus, but ithe way he was driving, if it happened on a country road we could've been upside down in a ditch. he is a fkin liablity. the poor girl at the front was screaming like a maddun when he went into the hedge.

the person that owned the house of the hedge he ran into was just leaving his driveway, he came over shouting "you're going way to fast the roads are slippy" the driver said "they're not that slippy".
ffs you've just smashed into someones front lawn of course they're that slippy. people should adjust the speed they drive at to suit the conditions. |

grass him up. Minimum effort, does some good. Doesn't matter how serious it is when it takes so little bother.
|

By:
what kind of half ar.sed argument is that ladycakes ffs.
there are plenty more things more important than my bus to work of course. i know that ffs. does that mean it isn't worthy of conversation? if not then don't waste your time replying to the thread. fkin moron. |

Grass him up before he kills someone. Seriously.

By:
just pay him with a tenner next time you get on they hate that,, that will probably drive him to suicide

will do green willow. gonna send an email now
a few weeks ago he was driving too fast, and he always does, and on a country lane he managed to knock the wing mirror off of an oncoming car. he did the thing and exchanged details but said to me and the girl that he was on the right side of the road, but i'm sure he wasn't. i told him that he was a c.unt and that if he wanted witnesses then i wouldn't stick up for him. i think that is half the reason he didn't pick me up on monday. i'm raging now, wish' i'd knocked him out this morning. |

fish man....
he'd prob not let me on the bus if i paid him with a tenner |

alos you don't really want to be on a bus with a driver, driven to suicide.

i'll do worse than that. I've handed my notice in last week, basically because the travel is shl.t. When it is my last week i wouldn't think twice about knocking him out. he is a c.unt of the highest order and he hasn't got a leg to stand on. a few months ago he didn't wait for my old man to get his paper when he took him to town, so my dad had to walk home. ar.sehole of the highest order. but foremost and mainmost, he is a danger to the roads. i am a safer driver after ten pints than he is after none. And I don't advocate drink driving for one second. email sent. |

never a good idea to assault anyone wearing a uniform serving the public, you'd be much better finding him off duty, if it's that big a deal.

Last time I got on a bus (drinking session) was the Christmas before last. Having waited 30 minutes for a 2 mile journey going, I presented a £20 note on the return journey as I had no change.
"I'm not taking that" said he. " That's all I've got", said I. "You'll have to get change" said he. "I'm not getting off this bus" said I "I'm not going anywhere till you do" said he. "You'll have a long wait" said I, as I sat down. One minute later, he closes the doors and I get a free lift home. How people survive the trauma of travelling by bus regularly God only knows. |

bit harsh assaulting the bus driver old chap just because you dont like the way he drives or he didnt pick you up cos you were not at the stop.
Its a bit of a naff job being a bus driver - give him a break |

i won't assault him, just sh.it him up a bit. and he deserves it, he is a danger to the public ffs. driving ridiculously fast this morning bearing in mind the conditions. |
|
By:
thinly veiled i was late for work again so make up stories about the bus driver thread.
The Driver is not obliged to pick any 1 up who is not at the stop HTH. |

On a serious note; buses were smashing into parked cars in London this morning. So bad were the conditions, that a friend's husband abandoned his car and walked, it was so dangerous.

clockwork;
THAt is fair enough. good luck to anyone who has some level of common sense whether it is driving slowly or not driving at all or whatever. but thick c.nuts who just drive too fast despite the conditions need a whack imo. |

Make you right, mate. Bus drivers didn't stop, just normal people. Bus drivers are their own breed.

Bus drivers, whilst not wishing to generalise, are a law unto themselves.
I am pretty sure that all rational thinking is eradicated on the training course that they do. The manual of how to treat the general public must contain some gems of information. 1 When a car is in front of you ensure that the front of the bus is as close to the the bumper as possible. 2 When in front of a car ensure you drive at 10mph. 3 When waiting at a bus stop, please ensure you check your mirrors before driving off. If someone is running towards the bus, this means you must drive off quickly. 4 When driving a double decker and you hear the bell ring to stop at the next bus stop, please ensure that you practice your emergency stop. 5 When at the penultimate stop before a terminus with a full bus, especially around rush hour time, wait for at least 10 minutes checking your float. 6 Please ensure you are 5 minutes early before 9.30am when the pensioners can use their free bus pass and in the afternoon after 3pm ensure you are late by 5 minutes. |

we have a newish company started here about 2 years ago, and although their methods are unorthodox they are doing very well. All the buses are at least 30 years old, you get on and find a seat and a lady comes up to you and asks for your destination then rattles you off a ticket from her machine.

Feign injury and get in a claim - NOW. Two witnesses plus two flashes on a speed camera. KERCHING |

Not waiting for your old man to buy a paper :^0
Maybe he should of said pop into the grocers,butchers and barbers as well. I do agree that some of these bus drivers are ignorant and dangerous.I nearly got done the other day when the driver suddenly pulled away as i was about to overtake.I had to brake sharp to avoid an oncoming bus. |

A bus turned over on an icy road down this way a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, two people were killed and dozens injured.
It was so slippery even the police car that was first on the scene skidded and crashed into the upturned bus. |
