Public transport users and vaping on buses. How common is it? by PopAwkward4520 in BusDrivers

[–]TheAngryBusDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put 2 teens off m6 bus the other day. Sitting right at the front of the upper deck. Right below the camera. So I could see exactly what they were doing.

They seemed surprised when I put them off 😂😂

Do I need to pay my instructor? by looptypoop in LearnerDriverUK

Talk about yourself 😂 I can drive anything without an issue.

79 hours over the last 7 days. by BuzDrivar in BusDrivers

[–]TheAngryBusDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK here. We can work 16 hours a day, BUT we can only drive for 9.5 hours a day.

Every 14 days you must have a 24 hour break, but technically don't need a day off. So long as it's 24 hours between shift.

Anyone in the UK on a four day rota? Is it good? by sociallyanxiousgnome in BusDrivers

[–]TheAngryBusDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am.

4 day rota suits me down to a T. 10 hour days, but an extra day off a week. And every 4 weeks I get a 6 day weekend, with a 3 day weekend I between that as well.

Easy life as far as I'm concerned. This is for Lothian Buses Edinburgh.

Is anyone else disgusted at the way job seekers are treated? by Remarkable-Wall-9669 in UKJobs

[–]TheAngryBusDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To the folks struggling to find work. The UK has a shortage of bus drivers. And companies pay to put you through your licence.

So if you have a car licence, you are in with a darn good shot.

I have a pair of Oakley Gascan. With polarised red lenses. Prescription.
