- Woman holding bus up by 5 minutes at Benton House asking the driver 101 questions. Could've planned journey in advance.
- Snooty woman at Northumbria Uni getting on.
- Woman turning upto St Mary's Place at last minute with no change or fare ready. Faffing on in bag to find it thus holding up line.
- People paying fares with 20 quid notes.
- Annoying kids getting on blasting crap music.
- People not giving a clear signal such as sticking hand out for bus to stop.
- People sprinting for bus at last second expecting driver to wait for them then they run late.
- People who make the same regular journeys and are unprepared.
- Lad getting on at St Mary's with no fare ready after sprinting at last second.
- Man getting on wrong bus then expects driver to tell him all the buses that go to Regent Centre. List is up on board at Haymarket. Line hold up and a que of passengers thus delaying the service.
- People being indecisive at last moment.
I admit I do the 7th one down on a Daily Basis, except I always my Ticket or Key Card in Hand as I run for the Bus
