James - you aren't so slow to push the PC button when it suits you. When you gave it the large one about the treatment of gay people and a lot of people piled in to argue with you, I don't recall when I defended you, you taking the line "but you're not gay, you don't understand" Nor is it posturing to, as a grown adult, compare selling olives in a deli for 8 hours and sitting in a stinking hot cab all day, dealing with some of the very worst possible human behaviour and not have SOME compassion?? Not that I'm defending this particular driver mind.. As for buses stopping short of their destination. It IS frustrating but it isn't necessarily the anti-passenger tactic portrayed. When traffic snarls up and all buses start to take an extra hour to reach the end of the route, it makes sense to turn some of them back the other way to pick up the passengers going the other way who wouuld otherwise be waiting an extra 2 hours What else.. oh yeah. If a bus dumps you in Camberwell and you live in ED... rather than complain about the end of the world... just have a 15 minute walk.. it'll calm you down and you;ll be home
