I'm sure no bus driver wakes up in the morning and thinks to theirself:
- I want to have a p!ss in my bus!
- I want to wait in a layby for 40 minutes so I can be late!
- I hate the public, I don't have anything to do with them!
- I don't know what any of these buttons on my dash do, even the ones labelled 'Wifi' and 'Sockets'! Best leave them off!
Drivers aren't mystical creatures who know everything - they may simply not know how they've become x minutes late as each minute can add up easily for no apparent reason.
I'm also sure, no matter if someone is pregnant, elderly, disabled etc or not, a driver will do their best to make up time. However, probably to your surprise and dismay, there isn't the option to put a blue flashing light and sirens on to get through traffic.
Fair enough you giving your own opinion - but when you keep endlessly slating services that aren't the designated brand (imagine the extra delay and cancellations etc that would apply if absolutely no branded buses are allowed to stray elsewhere) and services that are 6 minutes late, coming from someone who can't even drive a car let alone a bus, it's embarrassing.
Oh and don't get me started on reporting someone, if they are an Arriva employee, to Arriva. You have no idea on the implications you could cause for absolutely nothing.
