i was on a bus... about 50 kids at the bus stop pushing and shoving each other for position...spilling onto the road...the driver just drove straight through without stopping (this was the bus they were waiting for) the bus didnt hit any of them cos they jumped out the way but could easily of killed half a dozen.

on a different bus and the driver was driving like a loony, about twice the speed limit. people were getting off 2 stops after getting on. got the city centre and he took a turn way to fast and hit a lamp post. took about 10 minutes to reverse far enough to be able to take the turn properly, whilst all the traffic was just stuck going nowhere.

The Driver is doing his best to get peopleto their destinations on time in not good conditions ..
ALL this is because he failed to see you NOT at a Bus Stop ..
In hindsight , you will see I'm right .....
save your anger for the layabouts , not a guy trying to earn a crust and getting out of bed in lousy weather to do his job ..

I made a complaint about a stagecoach driver last year. I was on a two service bus and the young driver of the double decker bus was, swerving whilst driving on a straight road for no apparent reason, following this he failed to pickup passengers at the next bus stop, and fially just before the stop where I got off the bus he has a collision with a parked lorry, taking both the bus and lorries wing mirror out, the bus driver failed to stop after this accident.

I complained to the bus company and they sent me a nice letter in reply. They said that

Must be a horrible job.Very frustrating and stressfull.Almost wasting your life away.

Perhaps insurance purposes theyre only allowed to pick up at designated stops ?

update:

on the bus this morning, as soon as that girl got on the bus she asked me straight away if i'd rung up to complain. I told her i'd emailed. She said she was waiting to see what I had done, and she said she would phone and complain too. The other girl that got on later said she would phone too. Their reasoning, strangely enough, seemed to be that he didn't apologise or ask how they were after the incident. Typical women.

My reasoning was that on another day he would kill someone. It is not beyond the realms of possibility to say he could've killed someone yesterday.

needed a lift last night because the bus didn't come. (second time in two weeks it hasn't arrived for no apparent reason - the roads are fine atm. last week i needed a lift from my we had to give an elderly couple a lift too otherwise they'dve been stranded. got a lift last night too, and another bloke going somewhere else had to pay fifteen quid on a taxi) sent an email of complaint when i got home. i copied the local newspaper into the email (otherwise they pay no attention). the local newspaper emailed me this morning and want to speak to me, reckon it is a newsworthy story. fek me. not much going on round biggleswade atm. rang up the bus company this afternoon to see if the bus was going to come (if it doesn't i have to stay on the connecting bus al the way to bedford then back to biggy and it is a real ball ache, which is why i get so pi.ssed off when the buses don't run) they said it was and instantly knew who i was from my emails and were very apologetic and sh.it. bricking it because the biggleswade chronicle are on their case imo
