Bypassblade   10 #49 Posted March 21, 2013 Bus drivers are like most people-if greeted with a smile they respond in kind.Perhaps you give off the wrong vibe?  Well here we go again, when I get on I say hello, and when I get off I ALWAYS say cheers driver, what do you want me to do snog their faces off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Gleadly   11 #50 Posted March 21, 2013 only VERY few bus drivers are pretty good, the rest are shocking in my opinion I often travel by bus and tram, the tram is miles better then the bus probobly for obvius reasons, but alot of the tram staff are ten times nicer then the bus drivers and they actually do their best to be on time!  Suspect there are more tram lines than bus lanes. Myabe that's why it's easier for them to keep on time. They also don't have idiot car drivers in front of them.  You can't complain about the tram driver 'cos he only has 1/2 a job, compared to the bus driver.
