Annoni_mouse Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Can you explain why please? The bus companys (be it first, stagecoach, tm etc.) use the bus stops with the permission of the SYPTE. They're allowed one stop per loading point (bus stop). This means as soon as the driver has opened the door, loaded his passengers and closed his doors again, he isn't officially allowed to open the doors until he reaches his next stop. If the SYPTE see him opening his doors at the same stop he is in breach of the contract between the bus company and the SYPTE, which could result in a fine for the bus company and more than likely result in a sacked bus driver. This was how the ruling was explained to me when I was a steering wheel attendant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutch Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Have not seen many bad first drivers myself. |Do remember one on an 51 that was behaving rather mental but that was an exception to the lot. Question this story, would like to hear the drivers side before starting stupid judging and drawing conclusions.

SYorksDeano Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I Do remember one on an 51 that was behaving rather mental but that was an exception to the lot. I was travelling on the 51 route last week to Crosspool from town and I think if I was driving it I would be mental.....well more mental than I am now:hihi: Edited March 10, 2015 by SYorksDeano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InigoMontoya Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 A genuine question if anyone can answer this apropos the phasing out of the counterparts - How will this work on the trains - where the ticket machines aren't configured to read the travelmaster cards and the collectors rely on reading the printed part? Thanks in advance. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest busdriver1 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 IF you are in a public place, your picture can be taken without permission (this includes in a bus) Half correct, but a bus is not a public place in this definition. It is private property. If the photographer was outside the bus thats fine, but on it is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERVY-OWL Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'd have an issue with anyone trying to take my picture while on my bus, legal or not. However I would of given him my driver number so he would of had no need to . Not sure about the passes now if they won't scan, just easier giving them benefit of doubt and let them on to save arguments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
