stay safe

The video in the description explains all

Don't answer your phone before your break is officially over (40 minutes or whatever). Then proceed to the changeover point. If your bus is not there within 5 minutes you call them. IBUS abuses the drivers and you have no strength left to say no or fight back.

Bus drivers don't work for TFL. The IBUS is a fully automated system once a driver log in with the paynumber and enter Running Number, Duty Number, Trip Number. The bus is then in "service" and the system is completely automated. Changes can be made only by the driver or the controllers (IBUS) and they don't work for TFL as well.

Like it or not this was his choice. He chose to ignore the rules and I chose to follow the rules. Like it or not this was my choice. Because the bus driver is the person in charge and the driver decision is final, there is nothing anyone can do.

@@Not-a-Cockroach If you get the joke then ya get the joke, like how a Volvo wright gemini 2 on the go north east 60 drifter ends up to news

@@Not-a-Cockroach guess who has kicked in a bus door back in November Me bcuz I have a u18 discount so its £1 for me but the driver wanted £2 so i put £2 but the driver wanted a £2 coin not 2 £1s and then said "give me a £2 coin not 2 £1s or get the hell off the bus ya r3t4rd" so i tried getting off the driver shut the door on my leg and i started absolutely going mad, kicked the door and then i had to get dragged off by my friends bcuz the driver threatend to kill me

@@Busenthusiast-layton6050welcome to a society without rules. That's why on my videos you can see me following the rules. I am no longer a bus driver, so siciety can enjoy the new bus drivers. They said it will be better if I quit 😉

Abellio and RATP

I am a lorry driver. To be a bus driver again I need the salary to be 50k or more for a 40 hour week. Since that wont happen I am not touching a bus.

Nothing really, except the stupid people that behave like assholes on my work place. They have no right to come to my work place and disrespect me and then complain about been kicked out. Because surprise, surprise I do have the right to get people removed from my work place. They weren't happy to experience it. maybe next time they will sit on their seats while situations are sorted as they aren't contributing in any positive way?

@@Not-a-Cockroach Absolutely not only the above but your teaching them to have respect for people, of you told them your terminating the service and going out of service gpd knows what they would do without you!!

Yep. If they don't like it, they can get license and drive the bus or buy their own vehicle and travel.

No one have right to come to my work place and disrespect me. If anyone disagrees with how the bus is run, they can buy a car or arrange for their own transport. My work place will be run according to rules and if I chose not to drive for whatever reason I am accountable to my employer and no one else since this is private vehicle. Watch the video in the description if things are to complicated for your to understand.

Appreciate it

In my opinion, you did everything right. Plus you kept calm, concentrated, safety-focused and professional. I wish we had that zero-tolerance rule over here in Germany, too. I would feel a lot safer if every driver handles those individuals like you did. I assume you wouldn't get fined here, either. Unfortunately, our driver cabins are open and without protective shield. Keep up the good work and thanks for that important video.

You are either salary man or you are citizen. "see it, say it, sorted", don't apply for a salary man like you or your brother. I am a citizen and my first care is society and how to ensure the safety of said society as safe society means safer world for my self and my family. Your brother is salary man and his first care is salary, then what he will buy with said salary and a salary man doesn't care about society as long as he gets salary. Yes since Covid prices went double, yes people are struggling, yes the police reports of crimes haven't gone down in fact the numbers have gone up. A person like you or your brother that always looks for the silver lining and is there for the salary will never find the problems and even if you find them will never address them. After all it's part of TFL policies "see it, say it, sorted". I as bus driver was not TFL employee, but I had TFL passengers of my service and the "see it, say it, sorted" had to be part of my work. If you can't follow the "see it, say it, sorted" routine, then you aren't part of anything but the salary man club. My videos are about the moments when I find the problems and I address them. A salary man like you will never see them and will always look for the silver lining. If I ask you to explain what I did wrong your only argument can be "You didn't ignored the passenger and you didn't kept driving" which is normal response for a salary man like yourself. Have a nice life MR. salary man and if one day you have enough money that you don't need to worry for bills, work, pension, rent/mortgage, sickness, family having food and roof. When that one day comes you will maybe become a citizen, until then live your salary man life.

@@Not-a-Cockroach Nah mate I think he's just free with time and able to do night shifts. Some people cannot survive sleep deprivation so I don't blame either for thinking like this.

@@DCI_Mage And who said anything about night shifts at all.

You can hear the alarm going on for the door been open from the OUTSIDE of the bus.

@@Not-a-CockroachOk

The button is located at same height as any normal button to open the doors (train doors or call elevator height), except it have plastic cover that you must lift. The plastic cover is there to prevent people from using it by accident :D

Ooh ok, still anoying they can lift the plastic to open the doors while you are in the middle of the road. You handled good. Can i ask, i'm very curious how the job is in orher country's but, how long is a shift? Here it depends every day but not more than 10hours.

Minimum 10 hours. Employers do everything possible to not pay overtime. Management don't care about company rules, and work by their own rules. The last time our union rep reminded them this, they suspended him for 3 months, without giving a reason.

When they say one lie, there is nothing that will prevent them from saying a second lie. When they are out of the bus, they can't lie :D

@@Not-a-Cockroach They stand motionless. Until they see you pressing the button to close the doors. Then they try to board.

Just watch the video in the description.

How you reached that conclusion?

London is the arm pit of the country. That's why it have skyscrapers, so people don't live down with the rest of the filth.

Because you haven't watched the video in the description.

@@Not-a-Cockroach but why do your shout at everyone and can your shout out me

@@kaan7335 Please write your sentence in English and make sure it makes sense.

As a London Bus Driver you are not allowed to use any electronic devices while driving. That includes earphones, handsfree and radio. When you start working as a bus driver you receive up to 2 weeks route learning, most of the times is less than 5 days. In that time you must learn anywhere from 2 to 6 bus routes on average is 3. After this to learn the other bus routes you must do so at your day off, then call the CDM or Allocation so you get paid for that day off. This month I will make a video, explaining what it means to be a bus driver in London and what are the differences between London bus driver and all the other bus/lorry drivers on the legislation.

If your planning to be a bus driver, I would recommend trying to join a garage which is local to you. Therefore, you are more familiar with the routes and the roads and the area in general.

I did 3 months ago. The passengers can no buy a car and close the doors in any way they like. I ain't driving these ungrateful, confrontational, antisocial people around no more. If they increase the payment to be above 50 000£ per year I may consider going back, but for anything lower than 50k£ I got better stuff to do for better behaved individuals.

I know it sounds stupid since we got to keep moving, but at how many issues we stop? I know it sounds stupid since we got to keep moving, but who is going to solve all the issues if we stop? Just keep moving, since no one wants to solve all the issues. I stopped, I solved them, kept going without any baggage or issues. It's my work place and I will make sure my work place is not a shit hole.

@@mrdevbai you dont like when people continually don't support liars?

@@Not-a-Cockroach No. What I mean by this is that if it's just s small issue, just ignore him and move on. He's obviously lying and bothering your driving so move on. Don't waste your time with these people. I'm sorry if I haven't even too clear.

​@@mrdevbai Just watch the video in the description. At one point in my life I studied and worked as a chef. There I learned that being in a hurry is not an excuse. I also learned that you shall do your best always, because that's what you are paid for. This is what makes you a professional. All the other drivers that rather ignore the small issues, turn the blind eyes or chose to do nothing and say nothing are just lazy and incompetent people that can't separate their own crappy life from their job. I don't care about how other people do things, I do things the way a man that is paid to do a professional job will do them. Up to the higher standard I can, so when I finish my work day I know I have done my best. So when I grow old I know that I lived with dignity as I was thought ever since I was a child. I live that way, because I am able to chose where I work and where I live. Many people don't have that choice. Or to put it simply "I live like that, because I can afford it", and makes me sleep better at night.

As a bus driver I can park anywhere I see fit, given the conditions. If you have training in Terrorist awareness you will understand why I did what I did. For you this person was another passenger, for me it was potential terrorist, that may go off inside the bus with people trapped inside a moving bus.

@@Not-a-Cockroach Yes. I completely agree with you explaining this. if I were you, I would do the same because passenger's safety must be always prioritized. So in that case, I would open both doors and turn on the hazard lights. Once the person is no longer deemed as a threat, then I will move on to the next stop whey I will stop and wait for that person to get off

I quit the whole London Buses industry. As long as it's private and I have clueless donkeys for managers I wont do any work for it. Passengers can now enjoy the services of the drivers that are better fit than me for the job :D, as well as enjoy all the offenders and lawless buses.

If I am a train guard I don't think I will be able to make any judgement calls: So many people inside the train. Limited number of tracks can delay the whole service or create danger if the train stay stationary. It's a intercity service. It's a much more severe situation, because of the scale of it and the knock on effects it can have on the whole service. On the bus I know the next bus stop is within 2-8 minutes walk and the next service is 6-12 minutes away and it can easy go around me. The people that realized why I stopped the bus, good to know people like that are within our society. The people that started arguing, we don't need antisocial behavior supporters and their inflated ego to enable and embolden the offenders.

A bus driver is the person in charge of the bus. Many drivers don't realize that or are too lazy to care. "Operating the emergency door release is a bylaw offense and can be prosecuted". While you are in charge of a bus and you chose to ignore an offender you are enabling and emboldening that person which makes you a person that doesn't care about society and by proxy you support antisocial behavior. I can see from your comment that you don't have active stance and you don't care much about having safe and progressive society that have social rules. The fact that you mention the words "danger" and "life threatened", means that you don't even realize I at no point used these words or even acted on any such thing. As shown in the video there are multiple passengers committing offences as well as confronting me as a bus driver. I don't just stand up to multiple people at the same time, I do so alone ensuring I don't embolden and enable offenders and antisocial behavior. Enabling and emboldening offenders actually damages society. Me not doing it, while causing discomfort to multiple people is a beneficial in the long run since the offenders will think twice next time. Where if I do as you do, enabling and emboldening them, they will keep the antisocial behavior and the offences without second thoughts.

Video in the description explains all.

And good that you kept your self safe and you were not scared and spoke up

As a bus driver you aren't allowed to stop driving, because some one have not validated their ticket. I know some drivers do it, but "it's the passengers responsibility to validate their ticket" and the driver have to mark the fare evasion so there wont be a trouble if inspection happens. For almost 2 years I moved hundreds of thousands of people and I refused to drive around 10 times. 3-4 of them were for no ticket. On general there were from 3-7 fare evasions on average per trip on that bus. Usually there are 18-24 buses running doing between 100-180 trips depending on the route. So per day on a bus route there are between 300-1000 or more fare evasions. Just don't tell TFL I told you these numbers. On average a bus route loses over half a million PER YEAR to fare evasion and we have hundreds of bus routes.

You can recognize them by the destination board signs. They are more different on these upgraded versions.
