Was clueless as to whether I could use my POP card, he just grimaced and said "I dunno just get on". He pulled away from the bus stop in low fell when someone pressed the bell and was walking down the stairs.
Edit- he has also just whizzed straight past someone who made a clear signal for the bus too stop.
Don't forget the X12 is limited stop so if it was a stop the X12 doesn't stop at, they are going to drive past them. Obviously I don't know which stop they were waiting at.
The drivers on the X12 do seem to struggle to think whether they accept POP cards or not and this is not new based on what others have said.
