Bus driver using his vehicle as a weapon
A reader believes some bus drivers forget they are a public service
A reader believes some bus drivers forget they are a public service

THE letter Bus Driver Fed Up With Passengers' Questions (News Shopper, April 30) was presumably written by someone who holds a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licence.

By definition, this indicates he took the job to serve the public.

It seems he is in the wrong job.

I also have a few points to make:

  • Not all points of call are shown on the blind.

  • A passenger may look at their watch to estimate the arrival time at their destination. Or is it that he has a guilty conscience owing to the fact he more often than not turns up at the bus stop late?

  • "Why do car drivers have to get in front of the bus?" Perhaps he can say why, when leaving a bus stop, he thinks all he has to do is put on an indicator, which he had failed to cancel, and then with no consideration for any other road user pull out into the middle of the road.

    Statements such as "If you cut me up I will drive into the back of you" say it all. He is the "idiot" who drives his bus as a lethal weapon, not as a PSV.

    No doubt this driver is the pest who blocks yellow box junctions and who never learned to read or does not understand what it means to Keep Clear.
