Or maybe not entirely London buses...
I don't like going places by bus... Some drivers are OK, but many of them drive like dicks.
I don't like standing on a bus whilst it's moving, to get to the door, but sometimes I have to, as they don't always wait for you to get off before they close the doors and drive away... I waited for the bus to get to the lights and it stopped, but then accelerated again quickly and now I have done something to my hip because it threw me forward... :grump:
Surely they have a duty not to drive too harshly, as there were people standing on the bus. I mean what if somebody who has crutches is trying to use it.
Sorry... Just having a moan.

This should be good. NSFW though...
I remember seeing a used tampon lying on the floor of a bus going through the Southside a few years ago...totally filthy way of travelling.
:sour: :yuck:
Stagecoach seem to have pulled their finger out around here, for whatever reason. The buses have always been clean and well looked after but now the drivers seem to accelerate and brake far more gently. I think they're on a bonus scheme, as are the drivers at the other main bus company in Newcastle- the more fuel they save, the bigger their bonus is at the end of the year. They get a proportion of the fuel savings they make.
I generally use the bus and train to get to work now because it's much better than dealing with all the cunts in white vans who carve me up on the A1 because I drive a small car.
I you have injured yourself using a London bus, you need to either contact the operator in question or contact TfL if you don't do which operator it was. Have a good whinge at the operator instead of us and you might see something done about it. Last time I complained to Stagecoach about poor timekeeping they sent me a week's free bus pass.
I feel strangely let down
I knew I'd regret saying it, and so it came to pass.
30 minutes standing in the freezing cold for a bus this morning. 30 minutes I could have spent in bed instead :impissed:
The trams there are good too. Buses down here are just mank, and full of old people.
Trains ftw :thumb:
Fortunately they are making a comeback in places like Nottingham, Croydon and (hopefully if they can sort out the clusterfuck soon) Edinburgh.
I assume you've never been on Manchester Metrolink then!
