sonias rant (now with outcome email back)

[sonia205]

Oh my god where to start

went into town earlier

just got back

the bus driver was leaving 3 min early forcing me to flag him down on the road.

there was a lady with 6 children on, 2 in a double pushchair, these fell asleep mid journey...
his driving was so terrible he caused this pushchair to tip, the poor wee kiddies woke up screaming of corse and i rushed to help, lifting the pushchair back up.

Its things like this that might leave a child deeply tormented, its early childhood experiences that make them scared of things.

Im just so pissed off rite now, if that had been my kiddies i would have got up and flattened it one.

just sendin this email, what u think?

Dear sir / madam iin charge at Pulhams Coaches,

I am writting this email to tel you how discusted i am with todays driver.
His route left N******* at 2.20 then was supposed to leave ***** at 3.45.

I shall be informing the ministry of transport of what i am about to tell you also.

This driver pulled out of the church bus stop at 3.42 which is 3 minutes earlier than he should have left.
Causing me to have flagged him down further the road.
I am absalutly discusted at this, should someone else have wanted this bus, they would have to wait another hour or so, which in this weather isnt fair.
I know it is an offence to leave early my husband and father work as coach drivers, my father owns his own business.

Secondly his driving - this was absalutly aweful.
Im not sure this driver knows your supposed to slow down for corners, and when it came to fossebridge the bus nearly overturned he was going that fast.

On the return journey, his driving was so bad that he caused a pushchair to fall with 2 asleep children in it.
Understandably these children were highly distressed and i rushed up to pull the pushchair back up.
He wasnt bothered at all, didnt ask if they were ok, didnt slow down to give me a chance to pull them back up either.
This behaviour is outragious.
As a bus driver you have a responsiblity to drive safe not just for your passengers but for other road users.

Like i said i will be contacting the ministry of transport about the running early error this driver made.

And if this happens again i of corse will be reporting it again and again until you either get into serious trouble or have this contract taken off of you.

I have used this service many times before and usually they are all very good polite drivers, along with beeing caring and considerate too.

I would like to hear what action you will be taking against this driver.
Please email me back on this same email adress

Some of the bus drivers in London are right buggers. Once we had a driver that kept putting the brakes on hard so everyone was shouting at him so he got in a mood stopped the bus, turned the engine off and started reading his newspaper

[cassi]

Maybe not all , but the majority of bus drivers are arrogant and simply dont like their job.....They also seem to think because they are driving all day they have a harder job than anyone else. They also think they are superior to other road users....it really pisses me off..

And good on you for writing the letter, Make sure you spell check and grammar check it before you send it though, because there is a few mistakes I noticed..

 

[xashleyx]

ill never forget years ago when i was sat in a bus and an old lady got on saying she had lost her bus pass and only had a certai aount of money on her . He said it would get her to such and such a stop. She explained that she needed the stop after that one and he said well its an extra ten pence to that one. The old lady was really upset and embarrassed. I got up as did another person and offered to pay the 10 p.
In my experience the majority of bus drivers are arrogant ignorant individuals. of course there are exceptions but im going by my limited experience .

You know what I have always been peed off at bus drivers at kent as they seem to think they own the road, just pull out into the traffic which Im sure contrvenes the highway code, are rude and arrogant to passengers, and are a general menace.

But that all changed when i moved to wales.

Its not just a myth that welsh people are lovely, its true! Including bus drivers!

Ive had to get a bus only a couple of times since I moved here, the 1st time I didnt have the right change and the driver let me ride for free, and other times they have always been very polite and wait for everyonme to be seated before pulling off.

On the road, not one bus has pulled out in front of me, rather I have been flashed through by quite a few buses!

I had to phone our bus company and complain about a driver this morning. I got on the bus and he stunk really strongly of weed and he looked so stoned.

They wanted my name but i dont want him coming round to my house to break my windows so i told them i wouldnt give it, i just hope they do something about it.

Doubt it though as i didnt actually catch him smoking it.

oh my god , you should have called the POLICE
then that way they would and could have demanded a blood sample or what evers needed to test, otherwise the managers just mite let it slip and just warn him xx
