I was on an X22 earlier in the year where a passenger was shouting at the driver from their seat for about 10-15 minutes of the journey about how they were late (having muttered "finally" when the driver rocked up at Ashington Bus Station to get on the bus) and "driving slowly".


The bus was bang on time throughout, the driver had showed up 5 minutes before they were due away, and the passenger refused to believe the driver when they showed them the running board that had all the times printed on it in black and white. The bus in front also ran, on time, so it wasn't even as if one was missing. Attitudes like that are becoming more and more common, and it can't be helping.
