The missus uses the bus.
She has had run in with two drivers. Both of them for being c***s to her.
First driver refused to let her use her student bus pass and which obviously perplexed her. She was made to buy a ticket which was a benefit in the end. Then he topped it off by telling her that f***ing foreigners shouldn't be here and he was fed up of them.
I called the company about that, they asked if I could identify the driver, well of course we could we had a ticket from him.
He wasn't fired and he continued to act like a knob. In the winter the same driver stopped about 10 yards from the bus stop where the missus was standing. She walked to the bus to get on, he tapped his watch and refused to open the door. She stood there waiting, he waited a few minutes then drove the 10 yards to the bus stop, open and shut the doors and drove off.
I went ballistic about that, told the bus company if they didn't do something about him I would go to the newspapers, the college, local equal rights groups and anybody else I could think of.
He wasn't seen on that route again.
Other driver, just refused to let her use her pass, time and time again. She kept buying tickets, same driver, kept complaining, until he obviously had got a decent bollocking. He would then spend a good minute inspecting her pass and ID every time she got on, like a c****.
I contacted the company about this, but said I was very happy with the efficiency of the drivers and the length of time the took to ensure that the correct passes were being used and I appreciated that some drivers probably found it harder to remember all the passes as easily as the others and would require a bit longer inspecting them.
So that stopped and he just let her on after that.
God monster post, sorry about that.
I'll tell tales of buses racing in Bangkok and near misses. Or Korean buses where they braked so hard and accelerated so fast that I got car sick every time I was on.
