Drivers telling passengers to use the emergency buttons...

It is not being bloody minded for the sake of it, if they let you off away from a stop and you trip and fall, the company is not insured and the driver can lose his job. I think its fair to say that if the bus is stopped and isn't going anywhere anytime soon and its next to the kerb its highly unlikely anyone getting off is going to have an accident. Its not like bus stops have raised platforms. B2003 Many do have raised platforms, but that is not the issue. Passenger being permitted to leave at unauthorised stop trips (even may be own fault.) Leads to: Passenger sees "COMPO!!!" and claims from bus co Leads to: Bus co want to know from driver what was he doing allowing unscheduled dropping points Leads to: Driver out of job Leads to: Passenger who demanded to be let of, and who tripped, voluntarily paying the drivers mortgage for him until the driver finds a new job. (OK, that last one is as likely as Cameron getting us out of Europe.....) |
