I'm sure it's been discussed here before where someone attempts to board the last bus of the night, but then realises they've lost their wallet, but the driver let's them on anyway as they don't want that person to be stranded all night and anything bad happen.
But if you were a bus driver, what would you do in this situation?
You are doing the last run to Brigg from Scunthorpe (this is just an example as I'm from Scunthorpe), and when you go back to Scunthorpe, you put the destination sign to say "Sorry Not In Service". As the last passengers get off at Brigg, a very vulnerable elderly person attempts to board your bus, and you point out to them that you're going out of service, so no more passengers. He or she asks "But you're going back to Scunthorpe, right?" and you say yes, but not in service. Even if they seemed in a vulnerable situation, such as no money to get a taxi back and nobody they could call to bring them back to Scunthorpe, would you still stiffly enforce the rules, and still refuse to take them back, or would you risk it, if only so your conscience is clear?
If it was me, I'd risk it for them.
And has anybody here ever been in this situation themselves and was you able to convince the driver to help you home?
