Hey, give the females a break. Some of the guys are not so nice that get on the buses these days. They don't mind who they barge past, just so that they can get on the bus.
It must be hard being a driver and trying to see everyone's valid ticket.
I dread the school kids, my god have they got some attitudes on them these days. They travel for free and they still think that they have the right just to storm onto the bus without acknowledging the driver.
The other day, a driver asked a young guy for proof that he is a school person and the guy just stormed of the bus and called the driver a wan.... Some of these kids deserve a slap round the mouth, to show them that nobody owes them a living.
No matter how much pay the drivers get these days, it still isn't enough for the amount of crap that you guys have to put up with. The public are so rude these days.
I met a really nice bus driver recently, we went out to dinner in East Dulwich. He told me that he had seen me 3 times before, waiting for his bus. We got chatting and he invited me out. He drives a 345 bus in the Brixton area. I look forward to our next meeting.
Keep smiling folks, there are some nice people out there, looking for other nice people. xx
