- Sticking hand out clearly in good time
- Ringing the bell in good time and making way to front holding on to handrails as bus is stopping or if vunlerable, remaining seated?

(09 Jun 2014, 6:48 pm)Marcus It's happened many a time with me when I have rung the bell and the driver has just carried on driving past my stop - even though they have that red light in their cab that tells them, don't they?

(09 Jun 2014, 8:03 pm)VolvoMarkII I've seen it before too. The driver apologised to the passenger and said that as he was used to hearing the bell lots of times in the day, it occasionally becomes normal background noise that sometimes doesn't register in the brain until he hears the words "I wanted that stop!".
I thought that was an honest and easy to understand explanation. I'm sure most drivers have done it.

What happened to the driver stopping when he sees someone sticking their hands out?
Perhaps if he hadn't been going so fast, he would have been in a position to stop... Just stared at me as he flew past - silly driver of the 61 today! Glad the 42 was right behind it.
(10 Jun 2014, 3:13 pm)Marcus Once I had 5291 on the 78 and there was a lot of chatter going on - and I could barely hear the bell itself never mind the voiceover. He was very honest and apologised when he over-ran my stop. Very funny driver as well - had him numerous times and he's dead canny.

(10 Jun 2014, 3:28 pm)Marcus I'm sure a few Diamond Citaro's have a female voice (probably a robot's ) that says something like (haven't heard them in a while - so not sure if they still have them installed) 'please remain seated until the bus has stopped'. A bit like a shortened version of the Steve and Karen etc ones.

(10 Jun 2014, 3:32 pm)Tom Never heard that like - Only the Vykings have that.
(10 Jun 2014, 4:31 pm)Marcus I'm sure the Diamonds have (or had) them installed.
I'm up and ready to hop off like most passengers.
If I sit down and wait for it stop I'm delaying the service imo and I'm perfectly capable of walking in a straight line with plenty of bars and hanging rails and hanging hand things to guide me
Added to the fact the 21 never builds up enough speed to cause any harm of course!
(10 Jun 2014, 7:47 pm)BJ10VUS Yeah, I'm fairly sure some of them had it when they were 'CityLink'... must get a bit annoying after a while!

Thanks to the woman who got on the 5A this afternoon who when she boarded the bus continued her phone conversation for about 20 seconds before addressing the driver and of course she didn't have her change ready so we had to just sit there, I wanted to be off at the next stop I could have got off the bus and walked faster. Its little wonder buses are late when people like this get on.
Also there was a pissed passenger who was asleep on the X66.
