your rant warren is ok when you are talking about cutting folks up, but the rest is not true at all

you are supposed to let the bus out, so the driver puts on the indicator and yet no one lets them out, so they pull out, no one lets them out, so they pull out and off they go, and then someone will stop because they don't want to get smashed by a bus

which is why they stop in the traffic to let people on and off, because no cunt will let them out again

ironically i was going to post about this sort of stuff only yesterday, don't play chicken with me when i'm driving a bus, you WILL lose, if i have right of way you are going to be backing the fuck up, and yet no one realises this when they drive up towards me and then have to reverse back 200 yards because that's where the last gap was they could pull into

no, i'm not going to be pulling my bus into a gap you can't get a smart car into

as for the "bus wankers doing 20-25 mph" buses are designed to do roughly 25 mph, 30 mph is what many london buses are limited to although ours are supposed to be limited to 39 mph i've seen one speedo get to 58 mph

buses aren't lorries as they are built on bus chassis' rather than coaches which are built on lorry chassis so they can go faster, buses are designed to have a better turning circle to negotiate tight spaces like bus stops with cars parked in them or other car drivers who think they are the most important things in the world and getting to their destination means that they'd rather commit suicide in front of my bus than wait 5 seconds longer, had one yesterday, overtaking a queue of traffic that had been waiting for me to go past, and the no one would let the cunt in when he had no where to go but to reverse back up the hill for 15 or so car lengths

or the passengers who, when you aren't supposed to let them off get all abusive, again, yesterday i had one who kicked off about "you don't know how to do your fucking job, there's a fucking bus stop there, so stop the fucking bus" in a hail a ride section

there was no stop, but if he'd said "excuse me driver, would you mind letting me out here please?" i would have stopped and not had a problem in the next available safe stopping place, and not 600 yards down the road from where he wanted to get off

and when everyone KNOWS that the bus is going to pull over in 30 seconds, why can't you just sit there at 25 mph behind it until it's safe to pass?

i see the same cars in front of me a mile up the road who were so fed up of sitting behind me doing 28 mph that they've gone the wrong side of a set of lights just to overtake me, why?

and don't get me started on motorcyclists, they have a whole new level of suicidal tendencies when they get stuck behind a bus, riding on pavements, in the cycle lane when i'm turning left, trying to get through gaps that aren't there

i could go on but i'm sure you get the point now
