Hi I want write about the bus services in around Greenwich, I think there's a bit of hypocrisy or a bit ignorance been played by some not all unkind bus drivers, I recently have witness a sad scene, this was a very cold day with temperatures marking minus 4, waiting for the bus there was an elderly woman who told me she is 63 year old, she said she's have been waiting for the bus for quite while, and there was no sign of the bus, but eventually the bus turned up, and when it did, the driver stopped for one second, open the doors, then when she was just about to getting into the bus, to her despair the driver looked way closed the doors and off he went, like myself there was a few people waiting for the same bus, and this has happened twice in the week, now is there any wonder why many buses, many streets are been vandalised? you will call me civilised because I pay my weekly bus fare on oyster-card, but only to be treated as if we're living in the jungle,, is so easy to see where many things in this misbehaved society are going wrong, why can't the people in charge of these SO CALL KEY WORKERS see it?

MemberI too have witnessed similar events. Is it the fault of the bus companies holding the drivers to unrealistic schedules or are there a few drivers out there abusing their position to amuse themselves...

MemberI too have witnessed similar events, but also some kindnesses.
On the debit side, I was on a 380 crossing the heath last week. A woman was running from beyond the bus stop towards it as the 380 approached, signalling she wanted the bus. When the bus reached the stop she was less than 10 yards away, but the driver sailed past, only to wait at the traffic lights just beyond the stop. Beastly behaviour.
On the credit side, I recently hobbled (a temporarily damaged foot) to stand by a crowded 108 at the bottom of Westcombe Hill. I think the driver's intention was to let no-one else on his full, but my sorry horry hobble softened his heart and he let me on (but not the others waiting).

MemberAt times, common sense should prevail, well done to the driver.
