In regards to this you are very right metro I was told used to put up posters saying dont let the bus pass you by. I checked some bus stops in the area and it would seem metro seemed to stop doing this. however it is on various websites and arriva/metro on some of their buses have posters asking...

this is directly taken off arrivas website Catching the bus If you’ve downloaded the Arriva Bus app, you can use the live map function you can track exactly where your bus is on route to save you from waiting at the bus stop. This function is also available on the website. Once at the stop...

I thought I would post this article from the metro paper please read below. Yes, getting on and off a No.21 is now considered so tricky that one operator has published a guide on how to board without bother. Invaluable advice includes: ‘At the bus stop, signal with your hand for the driver to...

thanks for your comment I dont get it why people can not put their hand out its not difficult is it?

Lets talk about people running for the bus when they are not even at the bus stop you are expecting the bus to wait. Time he or she has not got. You are also delaying all the passengers who wish to get to work on time they do not wish to be late and have to explain to their manager why they were...

listen to me after having a ton of verbal abuse from people for just trying to do your job plus hand gestures thrown at you by every one including other road users It does grind you down. I have worked in the service sector and can honestly say I have never experienced so much abuse ever in any...

I believe manors cost nothing and is a sign of respect. It amazes me how well behaved children are and how polite they are and yet a person who has been around for over 60 years can not even say thanks when they get off the bus.

you need to spend a day with a bus driver maybe you would change your way of thinking after a day.

It seems I need to reiterate a point as some people have missed it. people wait at bus stops for other reasons than catching a bus. For example I am waiting for a friend I am playing a game dont need bus I am kissing my girl friend Women is hugging her friend I am waiting to be picked up by my...

my point is this you are supposed to tell the bus driver you want the bus by putting your arm out this is on arrivas website and also is on metros website and at various times and places. Metro used to have posters on every bus stop until yobs decided to destroy them. The ones defending that you...

you said treat oaps with respect how about treating the bus driver with respect we get disrespect from them . With out us they would be stuck at home all day.

well done thats what every one should do. If some one makes the effort I will thank them when going past. If some one makes the effort to tell me they need the bus I try my best to stop for them.

yes I am looking into other things and thanks for your comment

one last thing I have read peoples comments we are not mind readers we should not be focusing on weather people want or dont want the bus we should be looking at the road in front of us. I slow down to see if people want the bus but I am sick and tired of having to do this. many times people...

it is common knowledge to use your hand to tell drivers you need the bus. if a row of 3 buses come at once how is the driver supposed to know you need my bus. No we will not stop at every stop just because people are near it. I have all ready said that I have stopped at stops where people did...
