Drivers telling passengers to use the emergency buttons...
"Roland Perry" wrote in message ... In message , at 13:26:06 on Mon, 26 Nov 2012, Graeme Wall remarked: Agreed, which is why I suggested using only existing bus stops (or even a subset of them). Then we are back to the terms of the contract and the local authorities rules and regulations on the usage of existing bus stops. There are rarely any rules and regulations about stopping (ie to set down or pick up passengers) at bus stops, except a few in city centres that have "No stopping" plates (with an implied "Except buses", and sometimes an explicit "Except taxis"). I can imagine our Roland stopping on a nice straight road, on a bus stop (no layby!) when a bus comes along, and stops next to his car, with the front of the bus close to the kerb in front of his cae, back of the bus close to the kerb behind his car, and middle of the bus out in the middle of the road next to his car. With railings on the kerbside, or a nice high kerb so he can't drive off on the pavement (not that he would, thats a "Must Not"....). And its a timing point - better still, a terminal point, and the bus has to wait ten minutes! He'd be hopping up and down claiming "Imprisonment!"! -- PR |
