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.

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.

alos you don't really want to be on a bus with a driver, driven to suicide.
brilliant, yoy called a bus driver a c*** and then expected him to pick you up when you weren't actually at a bus stop :^0
I was on a bus when driver was driving whilst on mobile , woman on bus went absolutly mental at him when she got off, he looked well sheepish
Richard:
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.

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

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.
fek that arthur. he crashed the bus going over the speed limit on a snowy/icy road ffs.
I would walk up and politely say that unless he sorts is effing act out then he will find hs lazy fat obnoxious arse sat at home watching jeremy kyle and loose women weeping into his P45
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.

I agreed with everything up to " a few months ago he didn't wait for my old man to get his paper when he took him to town" - it's not a **king taxi! :D
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.

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.

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.

Bus drivers win the title most jobsworthy job in the world.
I HATE BUS DRIVERS

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 ..

At least he's not worrying sabout what people are having for breakfast.
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

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.

why you on betfair if you carnt affod a car you mug?
My mates 29 year old son earns a fortune, He doesn't know how to drive and has no desire to learn. He enjoys a drink and works one mile from his house.
Why would he pay tax and insurance on a car when he can walk to work in 15 minutes.
what a ridiculous thing to say. i wouldnt learn to drive if i had 20 million in the bank, its just not something ive ever had any interest in doing.
update:
the driver who was putting peoples lives at risk has been sacked. I found out this morning. He was sacked on wednesday morning soon after his riidiculouse performance, but well before I sent my email.
there is further news, but I need a bit to collect my thoughts.

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
