Badlittlepup   10 #2 Posted February 14, 2012 Why do you need 'compensation'? What kind of possible financial loss could this have caused you?  It wasn't pleasant but to be honest by the sound of things the poor driver would have got it in the neck too - I think sometimes in this situation the best thing to do is get to a to b as quickly as possible so you can get rid of them rather than inflaming the situation.  I understand it wasn't pleasant but I can't understand why an earth you should be demanding 'compensation'. It makes me question your motives for complaining about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Ghostrider   11 #3 Posted February 14, 2012 Why should you get any compensation ?  If I got compensation every time I heard something racist at work, I would be a millionaire by now. You should have told the mother if the kids carried on with the racist comments, you would call the police....  Possibly report it to the bus company as well.

kittenta   10 #6 Posted February 14, 2012 Can bus drivers still radio and and ask for assistance at an agreed stop on route? I'm sure the woman would have sorted the kids out once the police stepped on board for a word . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

bajanbuddy   10 #11 Posted February 14, 2012 why were you too scared too open your own mouth ?, does someone hold your hand when it goes dark ? dont complain about it if your not willing to do anything about it  It would be quite risky for the driver to get involved and who would have the guts to support him? The passengers may have been made uncomfortable but I notice not 1 passenger had the guts to confront them so why should the driver risk his job for the sake of ignorant passengers?  The scum involved knows exactly how to react to anyone who would stand up to them and besides, being kids they are protected, you cant touch them and they know it.
