Of all the bad practice or illegal stuff I've seen them do City Transport really take the biscuit. 

So I've just gotten off of the 701 (disclaimer I was sitting upstairs at the front) when I got on I saw someone sitting in the luggage bay and another one standing talking to the driver at the front talking to him and blocking the way/ being very ignorant when people were getting on. Throughout this journey there was a lot of beeping involved from other cars and our bus. However, I thought it was just rush hour around the vile hospital which is usually a nightmare anyways. Although I started to notice a pattern (from reflections) by our driver seemed allergic to the indicator. When I got off the bus said person in the luggage bay was now sitting on the part of the bus at the very front basically on the bit plastic in front of the windscreen. This also was when the bus is in motion and was definitely an obstruction to the drivers view!

Other things I've seen previously are ignoring red lights and crossings, driver shouting at me and someone else telling me I had to get off the middle doors only when 99% of buses don't have middle doors so how were we supposed to know. Then the next time the same driver shouting at someone at why they tried to exit the back doors (just waiting for them to open) when he hadn't opened them. 

And honestly been so many things.

Has anyone else seen anything negative with City Transport or is it just me?

See them Daily on Chester Road and they are an absolute embarrassment! The amount of times they’ve ploughed through red lights bottom of Chester Road I’ve lost count (Nearly caused an accident on Wednesday with a Northern Bus) Seen drivers use there phones at the wheel, driving with headphones in, bus spotters stopping passengers getting on then being rude. Personally should be reported to Nexus and Sunderland Council because they don’t know how to run a service
