Drivers telling passengers to use the emergency buttons...

Hi all, I've seen this increase over the past few months - drivers unwilling to open their doors between stops, but instead telling passengers they can press the emergency door control button themselves to alight from the bus. Anyone else seen this? Thoughts??? E. -- "It's better to have and not need, than to need and not have..." In different circumstances I've had exactly the opposite. Maybe 2/3 years ago a vintage double decker with open platform right next to the pavement stuck in a traffic jam and the conductor point blank refused to allow me to get off. Why didn't you just push past him? Were customers not allowed to alight from a Routemaster if the bus had come to a full stop in traffic? He was standing with his hands on the stanchions either side of the platform with his back to the centre pole. I used the word Vintage deliberately; it was not a PSV operation but a private operation from city centre to what I'll call an attraction on the outskirts. Had I pushed by there was a significant risk one, or both, of us might have been hurt in the resulting tumble from the bus. If is privately run in the way you describe, then the operator sets the rules. You could probably have been refused passage for the rest of the day. |
