Why do old people moan when drivers won't let them on the bus before

[mort 10]

It's been ages since we had a thread about twerlies.

[wizzardofODD 10]

if you issue a "twerlie" before 9am on a weekday you have to cancel it , fill in paperwork & hand both parts in as a "ticket in error" to prove that ticket was not used before the prescribed time ... with all the severe disciplines going on , specially at first , why would/should a driver issue a senior citizen before 9am & face a "serious misconduct " charge ... OAP's KNOW THE RULES & TIMES i will never put my job in jeopardy for no one ... whatever concession is involved be that time wise or age wise !!

Lets face it when you get to pensionable age, bus fare's should be free at any time.

Don't you think

 

Take care

As in "Am I too early?" = "I'm a Twerlie"

To-early for the bus

To-early for the post office opening,

First in the shops

First in chemist, butchers etc,

hence the terminology "Twerlie" I think its quite cute.

You sad people, some pensioners have to work to you know to make their pensions up.

How horrible of you, hang your heads in shame.

I totally agree, they have all day to get where they want. I have to start at said time,buses are already full enough in the morning.

[wizzardofODD 10]

theres folk wanting to get to work

kids going to school

students goin to uni/college - buses can often have a full standing load

 

9am is is roughly the time most (not all) are in work / school / college ... unfortunately if an OAP has an early app't at hospital/docs etc they fall in the same category as anyone else on a weekday & have to pay

 

at all times remember , the driver does NOT make up the rules regarding time , nor do the companys for that matter !

 

as has been stated other areas its 0930 hrs so think urselves lucky in S Yorks
