Do you notice how a bus is driven?

I've caught this service before (back in March) and it was again, utterly wedged. The driver was a rather formidable woman who looked to be in her early sixties and she was taking absolutely no prisoners with passengers nor with other traffic. I managed to nab the front seat so had quite the view of everything.

Still, not as bad as the Porto Airport bus I caught last year. The driver steered with his knees while he sent WhatsApp voicenotes at 40mph down residential streets. Still, he clawed back our delay, and then some.

Love it! :lol:

I certainly noticed the bus driver who was having a bad day today. I won't say which operator, route or time.

Took a wrong turning and had to go round the one-way system twice.

Hit a bus stop flag with his wing mirror and knocked the top off.

Took a fare whilst driving.

Went through a red light.

Failed to stop to pick up a passenger.

Hit a bus shelter with his wing mirror.


All on one journey within 30 mins or so.

Aye, sorry about that.
