nancysmum Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I was taking three children (two toddlers and a four year old) to the transport museum last week. I had a double buggie. A virtually empty 176 came to the bus stop and refused to let me get on saying he already had a buggy on board. i explained that I could collapse the buggy and have the children on a seat with me but he just drove off. needless to say the next bus didn't have such a problem. how come? and thanks to the second bus driver for allowing us to get on.

bon3yard Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I've become immune to this kind of behaviour on buses in general which isnt really a good thing is it?

Nero Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 And they go through red lights willy-nilly. Very dangerous. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4485-176-bus-drivers-in-general/#findComment-144753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bon3yard Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 You may KK...but it wont halt the tide of enlessly repeating threads. See 'best chinese/indian takeaway' threads.

AcedOut Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I think double/triple push-chairs should be taxed anyway! They are dangerous modes of transport that force oncoming people into the road. Boris - are you listening!!!? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4485-176-bus-drivers-in-general/#findComment-144929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancysmum Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Aced Out - I can promise you i don't push people onto the road when i am using my double buggy. I will always wait at a convenient spot and let people pass. And as for using it on the bus I will always collapse it down as the children are able to sit on the seat. Furthermore, we should encourage people to use public transport, not penalise them. If not, why not tax people in wheelchairs too.

AcedOut Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 When did push-chairs get renamed 'buggies' anyway? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4485-176-bus-drivers-in-general/#findComment-144987 Share on other sites More sharing options...
