Bus Strike


Recommended Posts

Most people probably know now that First bus drivers are on strike on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Here's a link: http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/yorkhumber/southyorkshire/news/news.php?item=199

 

What kind of chaos will this cause? I normally use the tram in a morning, which is busy enough already. It'll probably be packed to the rafters this week :(

I apologise if anyone on here is a bus driver... but I feel that the majority of Bus Drivers are complete w******s. They pull out into the road from the bus stop without a care for what cars are passing. They just flick in the indicator and start to pull out. I know a bus has the right of (according to the highway code) but that doesn't give them the right to drive dangerously.

 

And they VERY VERY rarely let in regular car drivers into a flow of traffic!

 

Winds me right up! :evil:

Damn... I'll really miss their friendly attitude :lol::P

 

There used to be a bus driver on my local route who'd let most of the regulars on for free. He'd also take diversions and shortcuts, drop people off outside their houses, even if it wasn't a bus stop, and stop the bus outside the newsagents while he went in to buy a paper.

 

I think he got sacked, though :(
