sheffield8 Â Â 10 #1 Posted September 24, 2015 If you decide to make a complaint about a bus driver please make sure you tell the whole truth about what actually happened at the time. Â A woman in her late 30's made a complaint about my friend who works on the buses like I do and she said that the driver swore at her, pointed their finger at her and even opened the cab door and tried to throw her off the bus. Â Just remember these days in the modern world buses do have cctv cameras which do work and when the bus company viewed the footage it showed the woman trying to get on the bus with a pass for a different bus company all together. It also showed my friend the driver sat in the cab and was clearly saying we don't accept that pass, the statement of the driver doing the all above to this passenger was a total lie and now all she has done is made herself look like a complete idiot. Â So just be warned if you do make a complaint tell the whole truth about what really happened instead of lying and trying to get the driver in trouble.

LeMaquis   10 #6 Posted September 24, 2015 I had a driver bang to rights a year ago - going through a red light and nearly hitting cross-traffic, braking so hard I nearly came off the seat, being sarky with a passenger, going through another red light. I complained and was never told of the outcome.  It works both ways. Passengers who lie will be found out. Bad drivers will be too. But don't expect the outcome of your complaint to get back to you.

I haven't been on one of their buses for ages but it was interesting to see all the parts of the bus that were covered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
