RMweb Premium Chris116 Posted April 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 19, 2019 During this last winter whenever the bus I have been on has waited for time the drivers have insisted that they have to keep the doors open while at a stop! This means the passengers are left freezing. Today it is a sunny, warm day and the passengers are melting in the bus so each time we wait for time what does the driver do? You guessed it the doors were shut as quickly as possible and the temperature in the bus rose steadily! Can anyone tell me if this caused by bloody mindedness or stupidity by the drivers?

RANGERS Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 When buses are waiting time, the doors should opened when passengers approach but as drivers are invariably preoccupied, they often just leave the entry door open. Wouldn’t say they were being bloody minded, just individual preference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBrit Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) It's that long since I travelled on a bus. Buses have doors? Well I never. What next? Heated seats perhaps? Edited April 22, 2019 by NorthBrit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A previous female Prime Minister would have approved. "Anyone over 30 on a bus is a failure" she said. Some of us actually like bus travel! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wanted to travel on them around here it is over a mile to the nearest bus stop. Probably another mile to walk to the destination after getting off. The destination is quicker by other forms of transport. (and cheaper.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted April 22, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 22, 2019 I find that London is a great walking city. Within zone 1 if you are reasonably confident about where you need to go then walking often takes little longer than public transport (it can actually be quicker for shorter journeys), it gives you a little exercise and it is a city full of fascinating sights. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us actually like bus travel! It's even better with a free bus pass. Over the Southdowns to Brighton. If you go by train it is over £10.00 return.
