r/BusDrivers

Hi All,

I’m asking for a bit of advice please. I’m in the UK and considering applying for a trainee position at companies local to me and there are a few:

Stagecoach
Trent Barton
Arriva
Nottingham City Transport

Which company would you say is the best to work for? What should I be looking out for i.e., Shift patterns etc?

Cheers in advance.

So very sad 😭😭😭

Hi everyone, I have a question for the other bus drivers here.

In the city where I live, there is one driver who, at some of the bus stops where a lot of passengers get on, asks passengers who are getting off to use the front door together with the passengers who are boarding.

This creates a lot of congestion and is quite uncomfortable, especially since the bus has three doors.

What can I do to get this driver to actually do his job properly and open the doors for passengers getting off? Complaints are rarely looked at or taken seriously in the city where I live, so I would appreciate any advice from other drivers on how to deal with this situation.

And ty btw..better than using the bloody train
