I sometimes miss my bus back home like that, but luckily I can usually run ahead to the next stop and catch it there while they're stuck waiting at a light to get out of the station. One time the guy saw me but he was already reversing from the stance and couldn't stop, so I ran ahead to the next stop. The guy apologized once I got on but I told him I knew it was policy and he was doing his job, so i didn't mind.

Another thing, once you’ve closed your doors and have your right hand indicator flashing to rejoin the traffic you’ve signalled your intention to move away from the bus stop and therefore shouldn’t open the doors.

[@ExoGhost]

The real problem is when they close the door before a person gets off. I saw a woman with a baby carriage and the bus driver tried to close the door when she was half way out.

[@angus504]

The other thing Anton forgot to mention was that when you do reopen the doors, most passengers don't even have the decency to say "thank you" and just tap their oyster and walk off! I call them back. When they return I looked at them and said "you're welcome!" They then realise their rudeness and say "thank you"! People need educating too!

[@maxfraser1996]

angus504 that’s their job is to drive the bus nothing else you don’t have to say thank you to them your paying to put money on ur oyster and that’s their job so if they don’t let u on the bus when it’s still parked up thenn ur just an asshole like most TFL bus drivers are

[@danielgould9107]

max fraser and I’ll be sure you drive off when you’re there. Jumped up little prick.

[@zarfdragon]

A driver once drove right past me when I was standing at a stop, because a van was parked in a ridiculous place and he didn't see me. But he caught sight of me in passing and pulled up further down the road to let me on, which he probably shouldn't have done but I'm forever grateful

[@nmm3481]

As a bus driver I won't let people on once I've actually started to physically move off, but I have ended up cancelling my right indicator and opening the doors if a latecomer has arrived before I've actually moved off. And likewise I also won't stop if they put their hand out late since stopping from 25-30mph suddenly is dangerous and is pointless to do just to let somebody on a bus who didn't put their hand out. Some people seem to expect the bus to stop at every stop, but I'm not stopping unless I know somebody is getting on or off as time is a huge factor in this job.

[@alexmcintyre8229]

Some people just don’t seem to grasp the concept that the buses have a schedule, that passengers on the bus want to get to their destination on time & that it’s not always safe to let people on when you’ve left the stop. I’ve had numerous times when people have tried to flag me down several meters away from the bus stop on busy roads during the middle of the day. If I’m behind schedule, it’s a busy road, there isn’t any curb cut at the bus stop to get out of the traffic lane & it’s a time of day where the buses are still running frequently then I’m not going to wait for you or stop my bus before or after the bus stop for you. You need to check the schedule for your bus stop & arrive early. If I’m running late then the only reason why you saw me is because I’m running late, I’m not going to make an additional stop away from the bus stop or wait an extra couple of minutes for you to get on board. I have passengers on board who need to get places & if I was running on time you probably wouldn’t have seen my bus in the first place. If you’re constantly being passed up by your bus then you should get to the bus stop earlier. Unless the bus stop is a timing point the arrival times at most stops are estimates, it’s best to get to your stop 5-10minutes early. Also try to have your payment ready ahead of time & be ready to board the bus when it shows up. If you have to prepare yourself to get on the bus once it arrives the driver can sometimes depart without you. Several transit agencies say: that if a passenger isn’t ready to board the bus, if the bus isn’t ahead of schedule & everyone else at the stop has gotten on the bus then you as the driver are allowed to depart leaving the the passenger who wasn’t ready to board at the bus stop. The bus has to maintain a schedule. When taking the bus arrive early & be ready to board when the bus arrives.

[@muizzsiddique]

Honestly more bus drivers need to stop allowing people on and off, making it difficult for other drivers, and also, as you mentioned, have publicly visible messages about these very things.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

I agree 💯%

[@1701spacecadet]

Simple: use the door controls and let yourself on!

[@jamesbloxed5069]

Yeah, brilliant idea! Just one issue... do that and the bus isn't going anywhere. Why..? All the newer buses need the handbrake to be applied for the doors to open so of you press the emergency door control buttons the brakes will most of the time lock on. Also if it's an older bus the doors can be opened without the handbrake so even if it's all fine the driver will probably refuse travel to you anyways so theres no point.

[@LJ07EBP]

[@leightonelliott3140]

Explained very well. I wish my passengers would watch this video. Last summer had a lady literally hang onto the door as I was pulling away from the station loading area. I also see so many people run across the street dodging cars and trucks in an attempt to catch the bus. They tell me they did not want to miss the bus. I tell them if you got hit and died you wouldn't have to worry about missing a bus ever again. We have some routes that run every 30,60 minutes so I can understand why missing a bus could be an issue but not worth putting your life or the driver's job a stake. Really no point when a route runs every 6-15 minutes

[@PanzerFalcon2232]

Been there before. About 10pm-ish, last bus to wherever it was going, a bay door was left open, woman does a 200m dash across the forecourt and starts pleading to get on "Let me on please, I need this bus" "Nope".

[@leightonelliott3140]

Jon Smith Lately for me people will be walking towards a stop. I've looked ahead at the stop no one there. Then once they realize, "oh crap bus is coming!" and when the bus and pedestrian meet it's too late. Keep in mind, at 35-45mph I cannot stop safely so I am forced to pass them. Sounds like a dick move on my part but if the person is not already or close enough to the stop prior to the bus arriving and it is not safe to slow down and stop that person will be passed. Not like I want to pass them, it boils down to safety. The bus does have the power to stop like a car but two factors come into play, 1) Passengers will end up on the floor. 2) Weight of the bus creates longer breaking distance. One other thing is once I saw a person start to run. I assumed they wanted the bus so I safely stopped. Well guess what? They kept running and passed the stop as I arrived with no indication. Most of the time it us trying the keep a good headway aka bus on time assuming safety takes precedence.

[@jameshunt1516]

Riley That was mean. There was a story rectnly (and a video by Carl Vernon on KZbin) where it was the last bus and the driver didn't let a 15 year old girl on so she would ave been stranded on her own luckily a police officer was there who kindly drove her home.

[@southenglandbusspotting9965]

Hey Anton, great video as always. Keep it up. All of the bus drivers i'm friends with have a strict policy on refusing travel for people without oyster cards/permit to travel passes and strict policy for people running for the bus and doors closing a refused travel on that certain bus and they have to wait for the next bus.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

South England Bus Spotting ..well yes...if the bus has picked up passengers at the bus stop...then the bus driver has done his/her job and is free to move on to the next stop. The driver does not have to wait for you....if you are not at the stop when the bus pulls up...then you have missed the bus!

[@muizzsiddique]

Problem is, some drivers let you on and then some don't. As a passenger, I'm not aware of the rules and standards of using a bus, so I would use other people and bus drivers as an example. But bus drivers themselves aren't consistent even though they're on the curb. There's a stop near from here where the bus driver cannot physically pull up near the kerb which makes that rule impossible to follow for everyone.

[@Lewis-ec4zo]

Saw a bus parked at the bus stop once and a woman with a pram and loads of shopping, he wasn't in traffic either. He was in a section of the road for buses only. The buses come every hour so I told him to wait for her and stood in the door way until she was within a meter. As soon as I stepped off the bus and she went to get on he shut the doors and drove off leaving her with a pram and all her shopping and to that day I still have no respect for bus drivers.

[@jenkinsbuses]

One of the drivers about 4-5 years ago would't let me on the bus even though he was in the bus stop zone and the rear doors were open and passengers were still getting off

❤️ I enjoyed your video!

[@seb1things1]

Once you are moving in traffic , even if is just 1m away from the bus stop, at that moment the driver is looking for the cars and cyclists in traffic, so if he has to open the door, it will block the traffic and it will be unsafe for the person trying to get in the bus and for the rest of the traffic users. Remember this is over 10m long, is not 4m like a hatchback.

[@markcaldwell2831]

You know what Anton I'm glad you follow the rules that are specifically laid out for bus drivers and speaking as a bus driver myself you would find it frustrating in Glasgow following those rules.

[@Ussurin]

That's still stupid rule. If you're stuck in a traffic there's nothing stoping you from openning doors other than: "safety rule says so". Which rule also does nothing other than irritate people, cause they will still walk up to your door and potentally cause problems when the traffic will move.

I get your point, but what if for example you check the bus time for a bus, it says 2 minutes but then it comes early then you have to run for the bus. It would kind of be unfair if they close the door than drive off.

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

LawrenceGaming 12 ...buses can run 2 minutes early...it is legal to run 2 mins early....the bus driver wants to maintain a headway and so has no reason to wait once they have picked up their passengers...again...if I see someone running and they make an effort...I will help...but I check my headway to see if I'm ok. I can't keep opening the door 2 to 3 times at every bus stop....then the bus behind will catch me up....and then it holds up the service!

[@LeytonW1974]

Great post Anton. I've been a bus driver for nearly 18 years now and would like to add a few other good reasons why in most cases we cannot open the doors once we have moved off from a stop. Often we have maybe a vehicle behind that has shown courtesy by giving way for us to pull out, if we open the doors we open ourselves up to not just one person boarding the bus, but maybe more will see the door open and will start boarding, maybe even a pushchair, this happens a lot, or that person then has a problem with their Oyster card, so although it should have taken a few seconds it's now delaying the bus, causing delays and frustration to road users behind. Also it goes against our company policy, and if the person perhaps tripped and fell due to the high step then the driver and company could be held liable for compensation, so the driver needs to protect himself. It's our jobs on the line. A lot of 'common sense' has been taken out of the job because of strict rules and regulations imposed by TFL. I always try and assess the safety implications first, my bus route, 386, covers a lot of 'quieter' side streets so often it's not much of a problem for me, I'll try and help as much as possible, but at busy stops, on busy main roads there's just so much that can go wrong. Passengers need to realise this but often don't and you end up getting a lot of abuse. I've had my doors kicked in and smashed before. All for doing my job in a professional manner.

If you feel that's all we do, then I suggest you go apply for a bus driving job and show us how you could do it better. There is much, much more than just opening and closing doors.

I understand your struggles mate, once these twats with blue flashing lights asked me to get the fuck out of my car, i refused cause i wasnt at a curb or bus stop and the twats tased me...

[@samrogers7896]

I understand this! Well I guess that's how it goes!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

Sam Rogers ....yes Sam. ...a line had to be drawn...we can't pick up everyone who knocks on the door...especially if there is a bus a few minutes after!

[@nathanbrown6780]

That’s mean people cannot mess the rubbish on the bus

[@nathrose6434]

Does he waste his own money tapping in his Oyster card for the video lol🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@alfienaylor1587]

NathanLOL Well no because surely it’ll return in his wages.

[@PhilSmith71]

NathanLOL It would very likely be his Staff Oyster Card, so no money involved.

[@jamesbloxed5069]

No he should get free travel

It's good I work for a company so whenever I am at any of my companies bus stands they let me on!

[@DoubleDeckerAnton]

H11 Apprentice ...that's good....!!!

[@h11apprentice]

But TFL have stupid policies is what annoys me, even though and can go in the bus at the other end of my route

[@ciaranbird3373]

Essentially it is like trains. Door closed, don't open...unless some moron on the tube has dived into them so him and his wife can get on the same train

[@BabyRosieFan82]

Man Behind The Camera lol trains are different because the driver can't be looking at ALL SEVEN CARRIGES. 😂 Then again, there is a camera but still. And trians have a higher frequency than buses. :)

[@angus504]

Train drivers are instructed not to reopen doors once they're closed so Ciaran is correct. Trains do not always have a higher frequency than buses!

Hello Anton. The nice thing about this type of video is that it really gives me an opportunity to learn something about driving a bus in general. I'm a frequent passenger and so this is also a part of my live. This situation particularly isn't very friendly to the public. But your video explains a lot. Even when I try to behave like "gentleman" -> deep inside I always felt somehow that the bus-driver was very rude when he/she left me on the bus stop ... . Why does he let me wait for 10 or even 30 minutes ... ? Sometimes in the rain ... . and it feels so completely unnecessary ... . Does he think that this is funny ... ? There was no form to apologize -> he simply moved away en let me stand ... . This always felt somehow so personal ... . Didn't he like my face ...?! And some of them I met on a regulary and friendly base so I really felt quite disturbed ... . The only thing I could do is to fill a complaint-card and send it to the bus-company. I hoped in this way the bus drivers somehow in general would improve their services. Even when I live in another country it creates some respect for my own bus drivers and it saves filling in some complaint cards. So thank you for explaining and please carry on.
