Bus driver training?

"Redonda" wrote in : Do bus drivers get *any* sort of training in how to deal with the public? This is an article from this week's East London Advertiser: /Quote BUS ATTITUDE NOT QUITE THE TICKET. Bus drivers are ignoring a wheelchair-bound East Ender and refusing to lower ramps which allow him to get on board. Pensioner John Clarke, 65, who lives on Mile End Road had his leg amputated in June 2003. He said: "I don't like going out any more," adding that: "Taxis are more sympathetic, but they're so expensive". Mr Clarke, a diabetic, protested to Bethnal Green and Bow MP Oona King - a move which won him an apology from London Buses. MP Oona said: "It's important that we encourage disabled pensioners like Mr Clarke to retain their independence. Drivers must be properly trained and supported in using ramps." Surely the training needed is for the recruiters to determine the ******s and not recruit them Unfortunately the question "Are you an antisocial ******?" is probably not on the application form. -- Phil ,,,^.".^,,, --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
