Not sure what to say, having to wait the extra half hour at a bus stop (sorry ) I suppose looking in the bright side, you got another half hour of fresh air while waiting for the bus, BUT... BUT if the weather was nice.... BONUS sunglasses on, enjoy the sun -

HI Hopefully the following will be a satisfactoy answer 1) we can't wait all day for people to get sat down 2) Yes that's what hand rails are for - but what if you are infirm, or carrying heavy or awkward bags? if you are carrying heavy bags, then carry lighter ones. As for the infirm, passB] 3) Fair enough if the bus is full.. but why does the driver get off on deciding who to pick up by the looks on their faces? WE drive the bus, and as such undesireables are not welcome (ie miserys) 4) Or ask the driver nicely to turn it off because you can't grip the hand rails when your hands are sweaty..When ever we turn off the heating we get complaints 5) Our family moved 3 times to places with more services, and it's only been up til now that bus services have ever been adequate, so how does that help? Good to hear you are happy, but be aware, bus changes may be around the corner, indeed the complaints graph shot up after the last set of changes, and the person responsible recieved a cash bonus for doing and excellent job (the complaints manager) -

If you want a laugh, then Hillsboro is the place to be (outside Warneck fruit shop). Some bright spark has designed it so the dozens of buses have to use the same bus stop. This bus stop has room for about 2 buses, so if 5 turn up at the same time theres problems. Also different people on different routes are packed into one stop. NOW WAIT FOR IT !!! As a driver you have to guess, which way the passengers will go, when 2 buses are in the bus pull in lane, and the 3rd bus (the one they want) is approaching, now the passengers generally will panic, and walk areound the back of the 2nd bus. So you drive to the front of the 1st bus, the passenger have a mad rush to get to the front of the 1st bus......and this is the best but. YOU DRIVE AWAY.....picking no one up -

How long does it take for passengers to find a seat, after paying the fare? This idiot was messing about dawling up the bus isle, so rather than wait, I pulled away very sharply from the stop. The idiot, then fell into a seat AND THEN...... (this was the ultimate act) clobbered the person by the window on the nose, causing a nose bleed. (PRAT) Sometimes pulling away sharply is the best way to get people in their seats -

Some people have mentioned about the heating, ie, on in summer and off in winter. Staff training will be required for that, so I assume you all will be happy without your buses for a week while the drivers get trained on "operating the heaters" -

Samc You have raised 2 excellent points, however not too sure how popular that would be with the passengers. They often moan enough as it is. Its not a cash desk - BANG ON, WELL SAID so passengers, correct fare !!!! -

Slimsid SOmetimes, the heater is turned off, and that brings complaints from passengers, so bus drivers can't win.
